Silicone Expandable Caps

Series: SCE

Multi-size expandable caps — reduce inventory costs (600°F)

Single caps that mask several different thread sizes, eliminating the need for multiple individual sizes while saving storage space. Dual-rib internal design enables expansion across multiple sizes. Rated to 600°F.

For example, to mask a 1/4-20 thread and a 5/16-18 thread, two different caps would be required (our part numbers SC234 and SC281). But with just one SCE-236-354, not only can both of those sizes be masked with that one plug, but a 3/8-16 thread can be masked with it too.

Silicone Flange Caps
600°F

Series: VFC

Silicone Flange Caps

Reusable masking caps designed to protect studs, bolts, and surrounding circular areas during high-heat finishing processes. Ideal for masking studs or bolts and a circular area around them, typically for grounding area protection. Our silicone flange caps eliminate the need for secondary washers by masking the circular area around the bolt, saving labor time in powder coating and e-coating lines. Alternatively can be used as a plug: The area around a hole can then be masked by the flange. They have also been used successfully as an insulation for wire harnesses (by cutting off the rounded end).
