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

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.
