Abstract
An assembly is provided for a fluid system. This fluid system assembly includes a fluid conduit and a plug. The fluid conduit has an internal bore. The internal bore is configured as or otherwise includes a smooth-walled internal bore. The plug includes a protrusion and a head. The protrusion is connected to the head. The protrusion projects axially along an axial centerline partially into the smooth-walled internal bore to a distal end of the plug. The head is seated against the fluid conduit. The head seals an opening in the fluid conduit to the internal bore.
