The Hoshizaki 4A0176-01 Sanoprene Plug is a molded sealing component used within compatible Hoshizaki equipment assemblies. Its flexible Sanoprene material allows the plug to seat against the surrounding surface and close the designated opening in the assembly. The plug creates a physical barrier at the connection point, helping contain the internal area while keeping the opening sealed during equipment operation. Its compact form fits the specified mounting location without adding unnecessary hardware.
