Abstract
The hole plug includes a peripheral planar ledge with a wall formed perpendicular therewith. A gasket seats within the intersection of the planar ledge and the wall. The gasket includes inwardly extending tabs (or “dogs”) which extend into corresponding pockets (or “doghouses”) formed in the wall. This causes the gasket, which is initially provided in a non-tacky state, to be mechanically secured to the hole plug during shipment and assembly prior to installation.
