Flanged Caps

Flanged Caps are designed for easy assembly and removal, either with automated equipment or by hand. Typically used to protect metric or imperial threads, with or without O-Rings. The larger flange allows for faster application and removal when using it by hand.

For the purpose of quality control; the natural coloured caps allow you to see through the cap and check whether the O-ring is installed, or not installed, on the protected fitting.

Provides a snug and secure fit.

  • Designed to cover and protect threads.
  • Protects from damage, dirt, and moisture.
  • Used in the automotive and engineering industries.

High Temperature Flanged Caps

High-temperature flanged caps shield openings from contaminants and damage in extreme heat conditions. These caps are built to withstand high temperatures, while maintaining their structural integrity, and sealing properties.

A flanged design extends beyond the edge of the component, providing additional coverage. Provides a secure grip for easy application and removal, even in challenging conditions.

Used in the automotive and manufacturing industries, as well as applications requiring metal finishing.

  • Designed to protect threaded or non-threaded ends of pipes, tubes, and fittings. Typically used to for metric or imperial threads, both with and without O-rings.
  • Simple installation and removal, either with automated equipment or by hand.
  • Designed to withstand high temperatures.

High Temperature Stud Protection Caps

Stud Protection Caps protect threaded studs and bolts against damage, contamination, and corrosion. These caps are designed to resist severe temperatures without losing structural integrity or sealing characteristics.

The studded construction protects against injuries from protruding threaded rods.

Used in the automotive and manufacturing industries, as well as in applications that need metal polishing.

  • Provides general protection during manufacture, storage, and transportation even in severe temperatures.
  • Simple installation and removal, either with automated equipment or by hand.
  • Ensures a snug fit.

High Temperature Tapered Plugs

This range of high temperature masking plugs features Silicone Rubber Tapered Plugs, EPDM Tapered Plugs and other Tapered Rubber Plugs made from Thermoplastic Rubber (TPR).

This extensive range of Tapered Plugs is available as a solid plug or with a hollow core, to aid in compression. Solid and hollow core options are available in our EPDM and High Temperature Silicone Plugs ranges. The hollow centre provides a cost-effective solution for larger sizes. The hollow design is more flexible than solid plugs, and allows for easier application.

Our Tapered Rubber Plug range features Univesal Plugs made from TPR. The tapered plug is designed to mask holes without masking the surrounding areas, and a pull tab allows for easy installation and removal. Suitable for temperatures up to 125C.

  • Colours: Black, Blue, Green, Natural, Pink, Red and Yellow
  • Simple push-fit design

Parallel Protection Plugs

Parallel protection plugs are general-purpose plugs that are used to protect a variety of applications.

The thermoplastic elastomer range is recommended for applications where resistance to acid is required. The PVC range is highly resistant to shredding and therefore ideal for threaded applications. The green vinyl range works well with applications where oils and greases are present.

Features a parallel or straight wall design that ensures a secure and snug fit while preventing contaminants, damage, dirt, corrosion, moisture, and debris during storage and transportation.

  • Parallel design ensures a secure and snug fit that prevents contaminants, corrosion, and debris during storage and transportation.
  • Easy to install and remove, and provides a neat finish.
  • Suitable for various applications including automotive, manufacturing, and commercial.
