Flange Cover Caps
Flange cover caps, also known as pipe flange covers, flange protectors, or plastic flange caps, are essential protective components designed to safeguard exposed pipe flange faces and bolt holes during storage, transportation, installation, and operational processes. These versatile protective covers shield critical sealing surfaces from contamination, moisture ingress, physical damage, and corrosion, ensuring optimal performance and reducing costly maintenance or replacement requirements.
Manufactured from high-quality polyethylene (PE), these durable flange protection covers are engineered to withstand harsh industrial environments whilst maintaining flexibility for easy installation and removal. Compatible with both ANSI (ASME B16.5) and DIN (EN 12351) standard flanges, our comprehensive range spans from 75mm to 1041mm internal diameter, accommodating pressure ratings from Series 150 to 2500 for ANSI flanges and Series 6 to 40 for DIN specifications.
Widely utilised across the UK by professionals in the oil and gas sector, water treatment facilities, chemical processing plants, marine engineering, power generation, and general manufacturing industries, these flange caps provide reliable full-face protection including bolt hole coverage. The bright colour options enhance on-site visibility for improved safety and easy identification during installation and maintenance procedures.
Available Materials & Style Options:
- Flexible polyethylene (PE) variants for enhanced fitting capability across slight dimensional variations
- ANSI-compliant designs meeting ASME B16.5 specifications for Series 150, 300, 600, 900, 1500, and 2500
- DIN-compliant options conforming to EN 12351 standards for Series 6, 10, 16, 25, and 40
- Push-fit design with flexible fins ensuring secure bore engagement without fasteners
- Full-face coverage caps protecting entire flange surface and bolt circles
