Hydraulic Application Caps & Plugs

 (43 product groups)

What are hydraulic application caps and plugs used for?

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.

Thread types in our range include:

UNF
BSP
Metric
JIC threads

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.
