Screw caps with sealing ring PÖPPELMANN GmbH & Co KG has added a new screw cap to its Kapsto ® range. The GPN 804 protects and seals outer threads of pipes and tubes, as well as connectors on components. Sealing-rings made from mechanical and chemical resistant elastomer are inserted into the screw caps. The company says that this is a viable alternative to the standard product GPN 800 for use during storage, transport, assembly and finishing processes where a heightened protection against ingress and discharge of liquids is required. A non-slip knurling on the outside of the cap aids quick and easy fitting and removal. The yellow caps are made from largely chemical and impact resistant PE-HD (polyethylene high density) and are available in most established metric threads, a variety of American standard and fine threads, and certain pipe threads. Additional sizes as well as heat resistant types are available on request. Pöppelmann GmbH & Co KG – Germany Fax: +49 4442 982 3462
