New ex-stock Protective Caps and Plugs from Elesa help solve protective problems from cushioning pipe ends to stopping loss of fluids or ingress of foreign matter. They give tough barriers to match industrial environments from clean workstations to disordered outdoor situations and defend people and equipment against damage.

The new products are offered from their NCT, TX and TNX ranges, where the NCT high-grade polyethylene caps are designed to cover tube ends, stopping damage to the tube, restraining leakage and inhibiting the ingress of foreign material. The products assist for personal safety protection against impact, transit protection or employment on frameworks and pipe structures and are offered in sizes from 4mm to 114.3mm internal dia.

The TX series threaded plugs in red polyethylene are created with a functional head for installation by hand in production and assembly stages of pneumatic and hydraulic systems to guard against dust and humidity. They are ideal for packing and transit of oil-containing equipment including engines, transfer cases, gearboxes, motors and drives to stop leakage. TX-G versions also assist components that need painting where their NBR gasket allows additional masking area. Sizes of the TX series range from M8 to M26 (G1/8 to G3).

The TNX series in yellow polyethylene offer an NBR O ring seal and is aimed at tool installation by screwdriver, spanner or socket – sizes M8 to M52 (G1/8 to G2).
