Metric Threads Hydraulic Application Caps & Plugs

Flanged Caps are designed to protect the thread of studs. They are used throughout the automotive and engineering industries for general protection uses. The flanges on the profiles have different sizes allowing a socket wrench to function without removing the protection. We offer a selection of materials, including; LDPE, TPR, PVC and Silicone. Our range also includes colour options; Natural, Red and Black and wide choice of sizes to suit your application needs.

Hexagonal Caps are used to protect all common hydraulic coupling sizes. The design is suitable for protecting round components too and are fitted with a central tab for easy removal. They are suitable for Metric, BSP and UNF sizes. Our Hexagonal Caps range are made from Polyethylene and come in a Natural finish.

Our Vinyl Pull Tab Caps have a large pull tab allowing easy removal from the component. The PVC or EVA material used for these ranges provide good tensile strength, toughness and increased flexibility. Our range includes colour options; Black, Red and Yellow, with a wide choice of sizes to suit your application needs.

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.

These vinyl caps provide a high-gloss, attractive finish making them ideal for use as decorative end caps. The flexibility and durability allows suitable fit for multiple applications. They can be used as a mask for coating, plating and paint applications, where the maximum temperature is not higher than 350F.

• Simple push-fit design.

Slottex Plugs are screw on protection plugs that can be applied or removed with screwdriver, spanner or socket. They can be tightened manually or with power tool. The range cover a large offering of dimensions suitable for Metric threads, BSP threads and UNF threads.

Snap Fit Plugs have a single turn providing tight fit once pushed into position. The plug is design with a centre tab to allow a strong grip for tightening and easy removal. The range is suitable for Metric, BSP and UNF threads.

Tear Tab Caps are a standard, off-the-shelf solution that will allow you to meet your customers demands without those all too common time delays.

Tear Tab Caps are quick-fit and quick-release caps. As a rapid solution, they can be easily fitted and removed across an array of applications, including; critical hydraulic tubes and pipes, such as those that carry oils and other fluids around vehicles and machineries. This makes them an ideal choice for the specialist vehicle manufacturing industry, and other automotive and manufacturing sectors.

Tear Tab Caps also assist in the protection of tube and pipe ends during transportation and storage. They protect parts from damage, dirt, moisture and other forms of ingress. These caps are highly versatile, and ideal for a range of applications and different threads, including; BSP, GAS, UNF, JIC and NPT.

Made from Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE), the caps feature a simple tear-away tab for quick release, and fast removal. The ease of extracting the Tear Tab Cap from the hydraulic pipework makes the removal process faster. By simply pulling the tab, the cap splits open, tearing away.

The LDPE material is tough and flexible. They provide many of the advantages of PVC caps, such as integrity and cleanliness.

• Colours: Blue, Natural and Yellow

Threaded O-Ring Plugs are equipped with a compressing flange lip and O-ring for a watertight seal and superior leakage protection for hydraulic threads. Can be applied and removed by hand, wrench, socket, or screwdriver. Available in Metric, UNF and BSP Gas threads.

These Polyethylene Threaded Protection Caps are used throughout the automotive, fluid power and engineering industries. They protect threaded components from dust, moisture and damage. They are suitable for Metric threads. Our range is available in Yellow or Red and a wide choice of sizes, to suit your application needs.

Threaded Protection Plugs - Metric Threads are widely used in hydraulic, pneumatic and general engineering industries. They come with a knurled head to easily grip the head and they offer an excellent protection from dirt, moisture and corrosion. They are available in UNF, NPT, Metric and BSP/Gas threads.

Threaded Protection Plugs - Quick Fit are widely used in hydraulic, pneumatic and general engineering industries. They come with a knurled head to easily grip the head and the short thread allows a quick fit on the part. Suitable for Metric, BSP and UNF thread sizes.

Yellow Polyethylene Metric Threaded Sealing Caps are fitted with an internal neoprene rubber sealing disk to limit contamination from deposit and entry of particles. They are suitable to protect metric threads. While hand tightening is recommended, the cap can be applied or removed by spanner or socket at a low torque. Our range offers a choice of sizes to suit your needs.
