Protective
plug for
SAE-Quick-
Connectors
GPN 245, a protective plug for SAE-Quick-
Connectors which are mainly used for fuel
and brake lines in the automotive industry,
now complements the Kapsto® standard
product range from Pöppelmann. The GPN
245 protects the sensitive Quick-Connectors
from damage and ingress of contaminants
during transport and storage.
This new standard product is natural
in colour and made from largely chemical
and impact resistant PE-HD (polyethylene
high density). It is available in SAE nominal
widths 8mm, 10mm, 12.7mm and 14.2mm,
and can be effortlessly fitted into the Quick-
Connectors, whose O-rings ensure sufficient
clamping. The GPN 245 can also easily be
removed due to the circumferential collar.
The Kapsto range, continually developed
and manufactured in house by Pöppelmann,
encompasses more than 3,000 different
plastic caps and plugs, which are available
for immediate despatch from stock. A team
of application technicians can develop
bespoke customer solutions for a variety of
applications.
