Price: 10.58 - 12.96 (18 variants)

Silicone Reinforced End Cap is a durable, pressure-resistant closure solution designed for automotive, industrial, and marine systems requiring secure sealing of unused outlets, pipes, and connectors. Constructed with a smooth extruded silicone compound inner layer, reinforced by polyester braid, and finished with a high-grade silicone exterior, the cap provides excellent heat stability, flexibility, and resistance to pressure and environmental stress. Built to SAE J20 R3 standards, the reinforced end cap withstands operating temperatures from -50°C to +220°C, with peaks up to +250°C, ensuring long-term reliability in high-performance and demanding environments. Available in a wide range of diameters from 4 mm to 25 mm, each cap features a short 60 mm overall length and 50 mm insertable length, providing a secure and robust seal across different applications.

Key Features:

Inner Layer: Smooth extruded silicone compound for flexibility and sealing integrity.

Reinforcement: Polyester braid for added strength and pressure resistance.

Outer Layer: High-grade silicone offering durability and environmental resistance.

Construction: Multi-ply wall with reinforced structure for long service life.

Operating Temperature: -50°C to +220°C (peak +250°C).

Internal Diameter Range: 4 mm to 25 mm.

Working Pressure: 12 bar (small bore) down to 5 bar (large bore), size dependent.

Bursting Pressure: Typically 3x working pressure (up to 36 bar).

Length: 60 mm overall, 50 mm insertable for secure sealing.

Standard: SAE J20 R3 compliant.

The reinforced silicone end cap combines robust construction with flexibility, ensuring dependable performance in systems handling coolant, oil vapours, air, and industrial fluids. The polyester braid reinforcement stabilises the cap under pressure while maintaining elasticity for easy installation and removal. With smooth internal walls and a reinforced silicone exterior, the cap resists cracking, ozone, and thermal degradation, making it suitable for prolonged use in engine bays, marine machinery, and industrial equipment. Burst ratings up to three times the working pressure provide a strong safety margin, while the compact length ensures neat and efficient sealing of pipe ends, manifolds, and unused outlets.

Applications include sealing off unused coolant or air lines in automotive systems, blanking off turbo and intercooler pipework, protecting connectors during testing and maintenance, and industrial equipment requiring temporary or permanent closure of outlets. Widely used in motorsport, marine engineering, agricultural machinery, and custom fabrication, silicone reinforced end caps deliver reliable protection and containment in high-temperature, medium-pressure environments.
