    Aluminum—Use aluminum caps instead of steel to prevent corrosion from spreading to aluminum pipe and tubing.

    Tapered Caps

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Protective Caps. Tapered Caps.
    Don't worry about having the exact size you need on hand. These caps are shaped to fit a range of ODs—just keep pushing on until they're snug. Because they make less contact with the parts they cover, they’re easier to remove than straight caps. In a pinch, you can flip tapered caps over and use them as plugs.
    Polyethylene—Convenient and economical, these flexible caps are one and done. Instead of cleaning and reusing, just toss and grab a new cap.

    Polyethylene—Convenient and economical. Instead of cleaning and reusing, just toss and grab a new plug.
