Protection caps with straps Pöppelmann has expanded its Kapsto ® range of standard products. The new GPN 696 protection cap with retaining tab reliably prevents banjo screws from being damaged or contaminated. Compared to other protection caps, the GPN 696 series has a number of beneficial distinctions. of banjo screws and pipes. This is due to the GPN 696’s retaining tab. It continues to hold the banjo screw tight after the protection cap has been removed from the threads, preventing the screw from coming loose from the ring fitting. As a result, each banjo screw can be reliably installed in the vehicle or pipe system. The GPN 696 can be removed just as easily and with low abrasion by gently pulling, which splits the perforated retaining tab at the predetermined breaking point. Whether during transportation or storage, the GPN 696 offers protection from damage and contamination. At the same time, it simplifies assembly

The GPN 696 series also saves time. Its flexible TPE material (thermoplastic polyester elastomer) and internal clamping points ensure fast and simple assembly. Produced in sizes M 10, M 12, M 14 and M 16 for banjo screws, the new standard Kapsto products are produced in yellow. More than 3,000 different plastic caps and plugs can be delivered from stock, and a team of application engineers develops special solutions based on customer specifications, such as combining protection with assembly functions.
