Caps FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

What is the function of female caps? REDOX female caps insert into hose or tube ends for temporary or permanent circuit sealing. Cap inner diameter matches tube outer diameter. Length 1.18" ensures optimal retention.

How to choose the right diameter? Measure outer diameter of tube to seal. Select cap with corresponding inner diameter. REDOX range covers 0.24" to 2", suitable for majority automotive and industrial applications. Light clamping ensures perfect seal.

Do caps resist automotive fluids? Yes, VMQ silicone resists coolant fluids, oil vapors, fuel vapors, compressed air. Compatible with antifreeze, water, turbo boost air. Not suitable for permanent contact with liquid fuel or aggressive oils.

What difference with rubber caps? VMQ silicone offers extended temperature range -58°F/356°F versus -22°F/212°F rubber. Superior durability, no hardening or cracking. Excellent UV/ozone resistance. Reusable many times without degradation.

Can these caps be used under pressure? Designed for low/medium pressure applications. Perfect for cooling circuits (14-29 PSI), leak tests, storage protection. For high pressure >43 PSI, specific solutions recommended.

Are caps reusable? Yes, VMQ silicone retains elasticity after multiple uses. No permanent deformation. Simple cleaning with soapy water. Storage at room temperature, avoid hydrocarbon contact.

Are there other plug types? REDOX also offers silicone plugs (subcategory). Custom solutions possible for specific applications. Male, tapered or sealing relief caps available on request.

What are main applications? Cooling circuit maintenance, radiator draining. New hose storage protection. Hydraulic circuit pressure tests. Temporary sealing during repairs. Competition vehicle transport. Various industrial applications.
