Computer printable hose and pipe markers
Computer printable ‘in-minutes’ straight
from a standard laser or thermal transfer
printer, the new CILS-91000TK self-
laminating durable label range from
Computer Imprintable Label Systems
(CILS) provides a permanent, high-
strength bond to all industrial pipes,
flexible hoses and conduits for failsafe
long-term identification.
Featuring a clear ‘wrap-around’
protective tail, CILS-91000TK labels
permanently seal and safeguard all
printed variable data for complete
protection against chemicals/solvents,
hydraulic oils, abrasion and extreme
temperature (-80°C to +388°C),
making them suitable for aeronautical/
automotive, marine/offshore and
processing plant applications.

Protection caps with straps
Pöppelmann has expanded its Kapsto
®
range of standard products. The new
GPN 696 protection cap with retaining
tab reliably prevents banjo screws
from being damaged or contaminated.
Compared to other protection caps,
the GPN 696 series has a number of
beneficial distinctions.
Whether during transportation or
storage, the GPN 696 offers protection
from damage and contamination. At
the same time, it simplifies assembly
of banjo screws and pipes. This is
due to the GPN 696’s retaining tab.
It continues to hold the banjo screw
tight after the protection cap has been
removed from the threads, preventing
the screw from coming loose from the
ring fitting. As a result, each banjo
screw can be reliably installed in the
vehicle or pipe system. The GPN 696
can be removed just as easily and with
low abrasion by gently pulling, which
splits the perforated retaining tab at the
predetermined breaking point.
The GPN 696 series also saves time.
Its flexible TPE material (thermoplastic
polyester elastomer) and internal
clamping points ensure fast and simple
assembly.
Produced in sizes M 10, M 12, M 14
and M 16 for banjo screws, the new
standard Kapsto products are produced
in yellow.
More than 3,000 different plastic caps
and plugs can be delivered from stock,
and a team of application engineers
develops special solutions based
on customer specifications, such as
combining protection with assembly
functions.
