Metallic gas caps protect gas cylinder valves and connection points from damage and dirt.
Fit them during storage and transport.
What are metallic gas caps?
These parts protect and control water, steam and gas lines. Air release valves let trapped air out of pipelines, blowdown valves clear sludge from boilers, globe valves regulate flow, and Y strainers catch debris before pumps and control valves.
Each one must suit the line pressure and temperature. Therefore, confirm ratings and connections before you order.
