318-11 - 3-1/8 Inch 11 TPI Oxygen Cylinder Valve Safety Cap

Essential Valve Protection for Oxygen Cylinders

When it comes to handling high-pressure gas cylinders, safety is the absolute priority. This Cylinder Cap for Oxygen Cylinders (318-11) is designed to provide robust protection for the most vulnerable part of your tank: the valve. Whether you are transporting cylinders to a job site or storing them in your shop, a missing cap is a major safety violation and a hazard. This cap features the standard 3-1/8" x 11 threads per inch (TPI), making it compatible with the vast majority of standard high-pressure oxygen and industrial gas cylinders used in welding and fabrication.

Constructed from heavy-duty steel, this cap is built to withstand the rough conditions of industrial environments. It acts as a steel helmet for your cylinder valve, ensuring that if a tank is accidentally knocked over, the valve won't shear off—a scenario that can turn a cylinder into a dangerous projectile. The "FIN" designation suggests a fine thread profile, ensuring a smooth but secure engagement with the cylinder neck ring. Don't risk fines or accidents; ensure every cylinder in your fleet is capped when not in use.

Why This Cap is a Must-Have

Beyond simple impact protection, using a proper cylinder cap is often a legal requirement under Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations for transporting hazardous materials. This specific model (SKU 318-11) is tailored for the common neck ring size found on oxygen tanks, ensuring you don't have to struggle with mismatched threads. It spins on easily and stays put, keeping dirt and debris away from the valve assembly while providing maximum impact resistance.
