HPS Performance 3-Ply Reinforced Black Silicone Bypass Cap 1-1/2" ID for Cooling Systems
$26.23

If you're diving into the world of cooling systems, you might want to take a good look at the HPS Performance 1-1/2" High Temperature Reinforced Black Silicone Cap. This isn't your run-of-the-mill vacuum cap; it's built to handle the heat and pressure that comes with serious engine work. I've seen plenty of caps that just can’t cut it under the stress of a high-performance setup, but this one? It's a beast.

What sets this cap apart is its three layers of polyester webbing. That’s right—three! It’s like a little fortress for your cooling system. You’re not just slapping on a cap that can barely hold up; you’re investing in something that’s going to last. This cap can handle temperatures ranging from a chilly -65°F all the way up to a scorching 350°F. That’s a serious range, making it suitable for all kinds of applications—coolant, water, air, and even turbocharger bypass valve ports.

Now, I’ve used this cap in various setups, and it’s proven its worth time and again. The 1-1/2" inside diameter fits snugly on most standard ports, and with a wall thickness of 4mm, it’s got the durability to back it up. Just to give you an idea, the overall length is 1-3/4", so it’s compact enough to fit in tight spaces without a hassle.

One thing to keep in mind, though: it’s not meant for fuel, oil, or any petroleum-based products. So if you’re thinking of using it in those applications, you might want to look elsewhere. But for everything else, this cap is UV and ozone resistant, making it a solid choice for long-term use.

In short, if you're looking for a reliable, heavy-duty silicone cap that won’t leave you hanging when the pressure's on, the HPS Performance 3-ply Reinforced High Temp Silicone Bypass Cap is definitely worth considering.
