Protection for components during handling

Stockcap’s pipe and flange range covers threaded and non-threaded applications

Stockcap pipe and flange protection caps and plugs are available for threaded and non-threaded applications. The range includes threaded caps and plugs (BSP/ NPT and JIC/UNF), flange covers, flexible vinyl caps and plugs, and non-threaded caps and tapered plugs. This variety of styles means Stockcap can offer protection products for pipes from 1.6 to 170mm in diameter and flanges in sizes from 22 to 340mm.

The company can also recommend the best material choice particular applications. For low-cost, short-term applications Stockcap has a large range of polyethylene styles. If the application is permanent or involved long-term protection, a range of stock or custom vinyl materials is available to meet exact storage, shipping or processing requirements.

Stockcap also produces Netguard – a low-cost way to reduce damage to precision components during shipping, handling or storage. Netguard slips snugly over the product to prevent breakage, scratching, dents, nicks and abrasions, and stretches to hug any surface with a non-slip grip, making it suitable for cylindrical or irregular-shaped parts. Because of its elasticity, one size fits a variety of diameters.

An alternative to paper, cardboard or polystyrene, Netguard will protect valuable components, as well as products with machined, polished, plated, coated or threaded exterior surfaces. It is also non-conductive, UV resistant and will not deteriorate when in contact with solvents, oils or rust inhibitors.
