Moldex 6489T BattlePlug Replacement Tips — Fits Size L | Green Tips
Moldex 6489T BattlePlug Replacement Tips (Size L)
The Moldex 6489T is the replacement foam tip set for the Moldex BattlePlug Size L (Green tips). BattlePlugs use a replaceable foam insert system — the reusable stem housing lasts indefinitely while only the foam tip requires periodic replacement. This significantly reduces the ongoing cost of BattlePlug hearing protection programs versus replacing entire units.

Key Features
- Correct replacement for Size L: BattlePlug tips are size-specific — Green tips fit only the Size L BattlePlug stem. Using incorrect size tips will not seat properly and will not achieve rated NRR.
- Restores full NRR 24/12 performance: New foam tips restore the original NRR 24 closed / NRR 12 open rating. Worn or contaminated tips reduce effective attenuation — replace tips when performance degrades.
- Lower ongoing cost than full unit replacement: Replacing only the foam insert extends the life of the reusable BattlePlug stem housing indefinitely at a fraction of full-unit replacement cost.
- Moldex USA manufacturing: Same foam formulation as the original BattlePlug tips — PVC-free, ANSI S3.19 compliant.
When to Replace BattlePlug Tips
- Foam no longer compresses and re-expands consistently on insertion
- Visible contamination (earwax buildup, debris) that cannot be removed by wiping
- Foam surface is hardened, cracked, or deformed
- Seal quality has noticeably degraded (verify with palm-cup test after insertion)
- Tips have been used for approximately 30+ shifts of full-day wear
Do not attempt to wash foam tips — water degrades the foam. Replace the tip; clean the stem separately with a damp cloth.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these tips compatible with all BattlePlug sizes?
No — BattlePlug tips are size-specific. This listing (6489T) fits only the Size L BattlePlug stem (Green tips). Using tips from a different size will not seat correctly and may fall out or fail to seal. Match the tip color to your BattlePlug stem color to confirm correct pairing.
Can I buy just the stem without the tips?
The BattlePlug stem is only sold as part of the complete unit (which includes tips). If the stem is damaged, purchase a new complete BattlePlug unit (Size L: SKU 6499). Replacement tips (this listing) are for maintaining an existing, undamaged stem.
How many tips come in the replacement set?
Each replacement set includes one pair of tips (one left, one right) — sufficient to restore one BattlePlug unit. For programs issuing multiple BattlePlugs, purchase one replacement set per unit per replacement cycle.
How do I install replacement tips?
Remove the worn tip from the stem by gently pulling it straight off. Inspect the stem for damage before installing the new tip. Press the new foam tip onto the stem post until it is fully seated and cannot be pulled off with gentle tension. Test the seal after installation by inserting and performing the palm-cup fit check.
