Hydraulic Application Caps & Plugs

 (16 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
