HPS Performance Products 5/16" Blue Reinforced Silicone Coolant Cap - 3-Ply Polyester
$16.67

If you’re diving into the world of cooling systems, you’ll want to check out the HPS Performance 5/16" high temperature reinforced blue silicone cap. This isn’t just any old cap; it’s built for the long haul, specifically designed to handle the heat and pressure that comes with your engine's cooling system. Unlike those basic vacuum caps that can barely handle a little pressure, this silicone cap is reinforced with three layers of tough polyester webbing. Trust me, it’s made to last.

What’s great about this cap is its versatility. Whether you're dealing with coolant, water, or even air, it's got you covered. It fits perfectly on turbocharger bypass valve ports, vacuum ports, throttle body water ports, heater cores—you name it. And with a temperature range that stretches from a chilly -65°F all the way up to a scorching 350°F, it can handle whatever you throw at it.

Let’s talk specs for a second. The inside diameter is 5/16" (or 8mm), which is just the right size for a snug fit. Overall, it measures 1-1/2" in length, with a wall thickness of 4mm. And don’t worry about it fading in the sun; it’s UV and ozone resistant, so it’ll keep looking sharp even after some serious exposure. Just keep in mind, this cap isn’t compatible with fuel, oil, or any petroleum-based products—so save those for something else.

Features:

  • High temperature applications? No problem—rated for up to 350°F.
  • Heavy-duty 3-ply polyester reinforcement means it's pressure resistant.
  • Compatible with a variety of fluids and systems.
  • Cool blue color that stands out in your engine bay.
  • 5/16" (8mm) inside diameter for a snug fit.
  • Not for use with fuel or oil—stick to coolant and water.
