Pipe Protection Caps & Plugs

 (9 product groups)

Pipe protection caps and plugs are essential for maintaining the integrity of pipes. They keep out dirt, dust, moisture, and other contaminants that could damage or degrade the pipe's interior, while protecting the pipe ends from dents, scratches, and other forms of damage during storage, handling, and transportation. Additionally, they ensure that the interior of the pipe remains clean and ready for use. Pipe protection plugs provide a tight seal to prevent the entry of contaminants and the escape of fluids or gases, and they shield internal threads from damage, corrosion, and contamination.

Materials

Our range is manufactured from various materials including:

Pipe protection caps and plugs offer numerous benefits, including versatility, as they are suitable for a wide range of pipe sizes and types. They are made from robust materials that ensure durability and withstand harsh conditions. These caps and plugs are also easy to install and remove, often without the need for special tools, making them user-friendly. Additionally, they provide a cost-effective solution for protecting valuable pipes and fittings, offering economical protection and maintenance.

Tapered Caps & Plugs - Standard

Standard Tapered Caps and Plugs are versatile components designed for use as a plug or a cap. The tapered profile allows the part to plug multiple inner diameters or to cap multiple outer diameters.

These dual function plugs or caps are typically used to protect against damage, dirt, moisture, and other corrision during storage and shipping.

With a straight forward push fit design, these dual function components are easy to insall and remove. The extensive range offers a varied selection of sizes that range from 2.9 mm up to 345.0 mm.

  • Plug design suitable for multiple inside and outside diameters.
  • Protects threaded and non-threaded pipes, ports, and access points against damage, dirt, moisture, debris, and corrosion.
  • Suitable for use in hydraulic systems, automotive components or medical industries.

Standard Size Pipe Caps

Standard Size Pipe Caps are a low cost protectve cap with a high quality finish.

Moulded caps that are designed to grip over the outside diameter of threaded and non-threaded pipe ends, preventing the ingress of foreign materials during storage and shipping.

The cap design features internal ribs that ensure a tight fit. In addition, the range includes caps that have a small vent hole to eliminate air pressure build up, and meets ANSI and DIN specifications.

  • Designed to prevent ingress of foreign material during storage or shipping.
  • Includes internal ribs to ensure a tighter fit.
  • Features a small vent hole to eliminate air pressure build up.

Tapered Caps & Plugs - Heavy Duty

Tapered Caps & Plugs protect threaded and non-threaded pipes, ports, and access points from damage, dust and debris during storage and shipping. They have a heavy duty wall and a tapered sealing ring for maximum protection.

Heavy duty tapered caps and plugs are designed to provide extra protection and durability where standard caps and plugs would not suffice. It provides a secure seal by push fit, excellent durability, and resistance to impact and abrasion. Used for applications in machinery, automotive, and industrial.

  • Material: LDPE
  • Colour: White, Red


Series Code :SR1003

Flexible Pipe Caps

Rotational Moulded Cap protects threaded pipe ends. Due to its softer material it allows for easier fitting on pipes. These caps have outstanding toughness and are puncture resistant with good flexibility which makes assembly or removal easier.

They are used to fit different pipe and tubing configurations, and they can be used in applications such as automotive, HVAC, construction, and industrial equipment. These caps provide protection from dust, dirt, and moisture.

  • Material: PE, LDPE
  • Colour: Yellow, White, Black


Series Code :SR1388

Heavy Duty Pipe Caps

Heavy Duty Pipe Caps are used to protect the end of a pipe from dust, dirt, and other impurities. They are appropriate for nominal pipe sizes and provide a low-cost, high-quality choice. Internal ribs ensure a snug fit and release after pressure is applied. The caps come with or without a vent hole.

Used to keep small pipes safe during transportation and storage. It is also simple to install and remove, thanks to the press fit design. Temperature resistance ranges from 66C to -40C. Used in plumbing, heating, ventilation, and industrial applications.

  • Material: PE
  • Colour: Black, Yellow


Series Code :SR1389

Driveshaft Protection Caps

Driveshaft Protection Caps are used for the protection and masking of driveshaft, and the surrounding bearings, from oil and an array of chemicals.

Available in a choice of materials; Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) and Flexible Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC). The PVC option also provides resistance to tearing and splitting.

Our range fits DIN 748, IEC 600-72 and ISO R775.

  • Materials: LDPE and Flexible PVC
  • Colour: Yellow


Series Code :SR1079

NPT Thread Plugs

NPT thread plugs are used to seal and protect the ends of BSP/NPT threaded pipes and fittings. Their robust design allows them to withstand high pressure, temperature, corrosion, dirt, and damage during storage and shipment.

Additionally, their tapered form allows the component to plug numerous inner diameters, assuring a tight and leak-free fit. They are simple to install due to their push-fit mounting style and are used in plumbing pipes, HVAC, automotive, and industrial applications.

  • Material: LDPE
  • Colour: Blue


Series Code :SR1114

Ribbed Pipe-End Plugs

Ribbed Pipe End Plugs are designed to seal the ends of pipes and tubes securely. The straight wall on the outside diameter of the plug offers a solid friction fit with the inside diameter of the mating pipe, giving good protection against impurities entering the pipe.

They are offered in two designs, each with flexible ribs in varying sizes to accommodate a range of NPT and drill pipe schedules. Easy to install and remove due to their close fit.

The are ideal for mechanical and engineering applications in a wide range of industries.

SAE Butt Weld Covers

SAE Butt Weld Covers are primarily used in hydraulic and pneumatic applications. They are a protective cap for use in 3000 and 6000 SAE PSI applications. Provides maximum protection for butt-weld ends on valves, pumps, and heat exchangers. These will not crack or chip and eliminates the need for plywood, masonite and fasteners.

Saves labour on assembly costs as they easily push-fit into place by hand. The special reverse angle design matches the butt-weld angle and completely covers or protects the end during shipping and storage.

Made from Low-Density Polyethylene (PE-LD) and two colour options are available. The Natural, translucent option is designed to protect split-flange coupling surfaces and allows for the O-ring to remain visible, while providing secure protection by an internal locking bead. The Red option is ideal for SAE flange nipple. Features a temperature range from minimum -30 degrees C up to a maximum +50 degrees C.
