Hydraulic application caps and plugs provide the critical role of protecting hydraulic systems from dirt, moisture, corrosion and damage during manufacturing, transit, shipping and storage. All of which can be harmful factors contributing to hydraulic system failure. Hydraulic caps and hydraulic hose plugs should be used through various processes such as manufacturing – particularly in powder coating and painting, during assembly and packaging and also used during machine shutdown when undertaking routine maintenance or repair. Their job is to prevent all types of contaminant from entering hydraulic systems through ports and fittings.

Vinyl End Caps, commonly known as Flexicaps or PVC End Caps. A round cap that protects the outside diameter of threaded or non-threaded tubes, rods, pipes or paper tubes. The vinyl material can stretch on to larger dimensions for a tight fit without tearing, splitting or shredding.
These round vinyl end caps include a red flexible Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) 60 Shore version, which is made from softer and more flexible material that allows for easy fitting. The bright red colour offers high visibility, thus reducing health and safety risks. Also included is a black PVC 80 Shore version that is more rigid than the red option. Also available is a glossy, dip-moulded round end tip that has a smooth finish. Durable round plastic end caps for round tubing are ideal product presentation and protection.

Tapered Plastic Plug Caps have two functions; plug and cap.
The Tapered Plug is used to plug the end of tubing, pipes, and bars. Tapered Pipe Plugs are desiged to fit snugly on to the end of a tube to keep liquid, dirt and other ingres out of the cavity - or indeed to help retain the contents that is within. Alternatively, Cap Plugs can be used as Tapered Caps. The Tapered Cap fits neatly over the outside diameter at the end of a tube, pipe or bar. This prevents dirt, dust, moisture, liquids and other contaniments from entering the cavity opening during manufacturing, masking, storage, and transportation.
Our Tapered Cap Plug range is made from Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE). This durable Plastic Plug Caps material protects the application from damage, as well as offering corrosion resistance.The Tapered Plug Caps range is suitable for a wide range of hole diameters, so you're sure to find a solution to suit your project requirments.
These Plug Caps are available in a choice of colour options, including; Black, Blue, Clear (Transparent), Red and Yellow.
