Foreign material exclusion plug for structural threads with breakaway tab

A coupling system, comprising:

• a structural threaded coupler including an internally threaded portion comprising an internally-threaded cylindrical structure;
• and
• a foreign material exclusion plug comprising
• a cylindrical body comprising an externally-threaded cylindrical structure having a top surface and adapted to thread into the internally-threaded cylindrical structure,
• a slot formed in the top surface of the cylindrical body and extending into the cylindrical body, and
• a breakaway tab removably coupled to the top surface of the cylindrical body and extending outwards from the top surface of the cylindrical body, the breakaway tab being integrally formed with the cylindrical body as a unitary structure, and being adapted to receive a force to thread the foreign material plug into the structural threaded coupler, and being adapted to break off from the cylindrical body at a base thereof, the base adjoining the top surface of the cylindrical body,
• wherein the slot is adapted to receive at least one of an end of a tool, a coin, and a portion of the breakaway tab broken off from the cylindrical body for unthreading the foreign material exclusion plug from the structural threaded coupler,
• wherein the breakaway tab is oriented such that the breakaway tab crosses over the slot and is integrally connected to the cylindrical body on one of opposing sides and opposing ends of the slot.
