Rubber Thread Cover Caps — Protect Every Exposed Thread from Φ1.5mm to Φ24mm
Exposed bolt ends, threaded rods, and hydraulic fittings are a snag hazard and a corrosion risk. These white vinyl rubber thread cover caps slip over external threads to cushion the tip, block dust and moisture, and give your hardware a clean finished look — whether you're in the workshop, garage, or out in the field.
Made from flexible, high-hardness rubber vinyl, each cap features a smooth inner surface that grips thread crests securely. Available in 36 inner diameter sizes from Φ1.5mm (≈ 0.06 in) to Φ24mm (≈ 0.94 in), covering M2 through M24 and equivalent imperial threads. Select your exact size from the variant dropdown above.
Ideal for threaded rod ends in furniture and shelving, hydraulic port plugs on machinery, exposed screw tips on outdoor equipment, and pipe end protection during storage or shipping. Also available in black, red, clear, blue, yellow, and green — contact us for other colors.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose the correct inner diameter for my screw or rod?
Measure the outside diameter of the thread or rod. Select a cap with an inner diameter that matches or is slightly smaller (typically 0.2–0.5mm less) for a snug fit. The rubber is flexible and will stretch slightly. When in doubt, match the cap size to your nominal thread diameter — for example, use a Φ6.0mm cap for an M6 rod.
Can these caps be used outdoors or in wet environments?
Yes. The vinyl rubber material is generally resistant to moisture, dust, and mild weathering. They perform well in rain, humidity, and splash environments. For prolonged full submersion, a more specialized waterproof cap would be recommended, but for typical outdoor and garage use these work reliably.
Will the caps stay on threaded rods that vibrate?
The smooth inner surface grips thread crests and holds well under light to moderate vibration. For high-vibration industrial machinery, adding a small amount of silicone adhesive inside the cap before installation is generally recommended. For most DIY and workshop applications, no adhesive is needed.
Do you offer other colors besides white?
Yes — black, red, clear, blue, yellow, and green are available. Contact us before ordering if you need a specific color or a custom mix. We can typically accommodate small-quantity color requests.
Can I order a mixed size assortment instead of a single size?
This listing is for one size per order (select from the dropdown). If you need multiple diameters, contact us and we can help you build a custom assortment with the specific sizes and quantities your project requires.
What is the difference between these caps and standard plastic thread protectors?
These are made from flexible vinyl rubber rather than rigid plastic, so they conform more closely to thread profiles and are less likely to crack under impact or in cold temperatures. The rubber material also provides a better grip and a softer feel, which is useful when the cap is in a location where people might brush against it.
