The Color Cap is a small, color-coded cap designed to identify different applications of tube joints in piping systems. By matching the cap’s color to the tube or fitting application, technicians can quickly and accurately recognize port functions during installation and maintenance, simplifying complex piping work.
Constructed from durable plastic, the Color Cap features a secure lock mechanism that engages with the release-ring on Mini-type tube fittings. It is specifically designed to fit over oval or round release-rings and includes a built-in locking function to prevent the tube from escaping during operation or misalignment.
The Color Cap connects directly to the release-ring of a Mini-type tube fitting, which must have an outer diameter (OD) of either ø4mm or ø6mm. The cap is designed to be installed adjacent to the release-ring and securely locks into place, ensuring stability during handling and use.
The Color Cap is available in 10 distinct colors for identification purposes. It operates reliably under normal conditions with a lock function that prevents tube displacement due to accidental removal or misoperation. The cap’s size is standardized across multiple diameters: φ4, φ6, φ8, φ10, φ12, and φ16 mm (equivalent to φ1/8", φ5/32", φ3/16", φ1/4", φ5/16", φ3/8", φ1/2", and φ5/8" in inches).
Available in a range of sizes from φ4 mm to φ16 mm, the Color Cap offers precise fitment for various tube diameters. The color options allow users to match the cap to either the tube or fitting application, ensuring clear visual identification across different systems and tasks.
Installation requires aligning the Color Cap with the release-ring of a Mini-type tube fitting (ø4mm or ø6mm OD). The cap locks into place automatically when seated. Due to its small size, care must be taken during attachment and detachment to avoid losing or dropping it into equipment or piping systems.
