CAP WINS NATIONAL COMPOSITES "ACE" AWARD!!!! (844) 344-2271 sales@compositeap.com
Watertight...or Vented!
Vented CAPs with Molded-In (Not Drilled) Holes!
If you don't need our watertight version of the CAP ONE , and need to release line pressure, CAP can mold-in vent holes...not drilled holes! Drilling can expose fiber filaments to the environment. And CAP's vent holes are not on the structural members (photo on right). Molding-in holes is impossible or difficult to do with other composite options. For example, in the Resin Transfer Molding (RTM) process, the manufacturer must stack many layers of woven fiber. Molding holes in RTM covers would require holes cut into the raw materials, so holes are drilled into post molded covers in many RTM solutions rather than molded-in.

CAP ONE® Features
Corrosion Resistant Hardware
CAP locking systems and metal hardware exposed to H2S gas are made with 316 Stainless Steel - Austenite crystal. This gives the maximum resistance of a metal to corrosion and is not magnetic. If your locking hardware is attracted by magnetic forces like the cover hardware shown in the photo, the lock may corrode. This could cause problems locking and opening the cover in the future.
Thicker Frame Walls
Compared to another composite option, CAP's frames (top frame in photo) have twice the wall thickness and twice the flange. This provides adequate robustness for vehicle impact and other common handling abuse.
Want Your Logo - Send Us The Detail
CAP can produce interchangeable, hardened steel molds for the custom logo positions. These molds can withstand 800 tons and look sharp! So, CAP logos are molded in the substrate - not a surface decal or veil. CAP's logos are 3-4 times deeper (about 1/8 inch) on the surface vs. some current RTM options. CAP's logo depth gives a more pronounced surface appearance. RTM detail as deep as CAP's would create resin-rich areas that can blister and wear - one reason some RTM covers have 0.03" to 0.04" tread depth.
