Purpose

Vinyl Caps are designed to mask plain and threaded studs, tube ends and even slotted holes; they will mask off the stud and allow finishing up to it. They are also widely used for protection during transportation.

How the product is used

The cap is applied by being pushed over the stud. It is removed by being pulled off. It can be used as a plug by being inserted into threaded or plain holes. However, on holes we would recommend a plug such as the GN series of plugs or the PP series of pull plugs. If the cap is used as a plug it can be pushed into place using a rounded end rod or dowel.

The outside diameter of this cap may vary in size due to the manufacturing process.
