PLUG BUTTON TOP 20 QT FOOT

Plug Buttons or Button Plugs may be made of metal or plastic depending upon the finish of the equipment they are used with. For example a commercial refrigerator door may be optionally mounted to open from the left or from the right. In this case, the opposite side will have exposed screw holes which may be covered with a plug button. Similarly, the the screws on the side where the door is mounted may also be covered. The button cover provides a finished look, concealing an otherwise unsightly hole. When fully seated, the domed, button head protrudes above the equipment surface and over the hole edge adding a more decorative look that inhibits water or grease migration and enhances personnel safety where sharp metal edges would otherwise be exposed.

As opposed to a caster, which rolls and may have a locking mechanism, a foot is a stationary weight-bearing implement at the base of a piece of restaurant equipment. It may be made of metal, plastic, or rubber and usually screws into the frame or base of the machine. A Foot Pedal refers to a foot controlled actuator or valve such as that used to turn on a machine or a faucet.

(Note: "foot" may also refer to a unit of measurement of length, width, and depth covering a distance equal to 12 inches.)
