Product Description
Tapered Plastic Cap – 13.2mm Min Diameter x 25.4mm Flange Diameter x 12.7mm Length | Vital Parts – TAC016
Our Tapered Plastic Cap TAC016 is a high-quality, reversible solution manufactured from Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) in a durable red finish. Designed with a 13.2mm minimum diameter, 25.4mm flange diameter, and an overall length of 12.7mm, this versatile component is widely used across industrial and commercial sectors in the UK. Its tapered design allows for both internal plugging and external capping, offering flexibility and secure sealing in a wide range of applications.
What is a Reversible Tapered Cap?
A Reversible Tapered Cap is a multifunctional plastic component engineered to act as either a protective cap for the outside of tubes, fittings, or connectors, or as a plug for internal sealing. Made from resilient Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE), it combines rigidity and slight flexibility to ensure a snug fit while resisting wear, vibration, and impact during storage or transit. The red finish enhances visibility in operational settings, adding an element of safety and usability.
Key Applications and Industries
These reversible caps are an essential component across a variety of UK industries, including manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, electronics, and maintenance services. Commonly used by purchasing managers, engineers, warehouse operatives, and fabrication specialists, they provide a simple but effective method of protecting open ports, threads, or tube ends from contamination, physical damage, or ingress of moisture and dust.
- Manufacturing: Protection of unfinished components during production or transit.
- Automotive: Temporary sealing of brake lines, fluid pipes, or electrical connectors.
- Painting & Coating: Acts as a mask for critical surfaces during powder coating or painting processes.
