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.
