The Tank Valve Cap is designed for divers and dive centres who want a simple way to protect scuba cylinder valve outlets when tanks are not connected to a regulator or filling whip. Lightweight, compact and easy to use, it helps keep the valve connection cleaner between dives.
Overview
The Tank Valve Cap is a practical scuba cylinder accessory used to cover and protect the tank valve outlet when the cylinder is not in use. By covering the connection point, it helps reduce exposure to dust, dirt, moisture and general handling marks during transport, storage and dive-centre use.
A valve cap is especially useful when cylinders are moved between vehicles, boats, fill stations and kit-up areas. It gives the exposed valve outlet a simple protective barrier, helping keep the connection area cleaner before a regulator or filling whip is attached.
The cap’s compact design makes it easy to keep with a cylinder setup, and many valve caps include or allow a retaining cord so the cap stays attached to the tank valve when removed. Depending on the exact version supplied, the cap may be made from plastic or rubber.
This product is the tank valve cap only and does not include a scuba cylinder, valve or regulator.
