Shercon, Inc
Ultrabake Caps
Purpose
Ultrabake Caps are designed to mask plain and threaded studs, tube ends and even slotted holes; they will mask off the stud and allow finishing up to it.
How the product is used
The cap is applied by being pushed over the stud. It is removed by being pulled off. It can be used as a plug by being inserted into threaded or plain holes. However, on holes we would recommend a plug such as the
UP series of plugs or the
SPP series of pull plugs. If the cap is used as a plug it can be pushed into place using a rounded end rod or dowel.
