Vinyl Hose Cap
Protect exposed studs, raw tube ends, and adjustments from chemical spray and moisture buildup. This Vinyl Hose Cap (U.S. Plastic Item #: 31400) is a tough, flexible protective closure utilized inside the FloPro chemical distribution and blending cabinet at Tommy Car Wash Systems.
The FloPro panel handles a continuous influx of concentrated surfactants, builders, and water treatment chemistry within a enclosed, high-humidity enclosure. Leaving small exposed threads, manifold manifold adjustments, or unused bypass tube ports bare invites chemical crusting and thread binding. These flexible vinyl caps slide on easily to create a tight friction seal, isolating metal or plastic tips from premature oxidation and making ongoing calibration tweaks stress-free for maintenance crews.
Key features and benefits include:
- Chemical-Resistant Vinyl: Compounded from a high-grade vinyl material that withstands direct contact with concentrated car wash detergents, waxes, and low-pH wheel cleaners without hardening or cracking.
- Tear & Crack Resistant Construction: Extremely resilient structural formulation allows the cap to stretch slightly over components to create a snug seal, bouncing back without splitting at the seams.
- Snug Friction Fit: Designed with a 1/4-inch inside diameter, making it an exact slip-on fit for standard 1/4" outer dimension tubes, valve tips, sensor probes, or bracket thread studs.
- Broad Thermal Rating: Functions seamlessly in a massive temperature window from -26°F to 350°F, standing up to the thermal stress of backroom equipment loops and hot-water reclaim setups.
