SL25 & SL40
Product Description
Don’t let a simple oversight compromise your critical firefighting connections. The Forestry Coupling Blank Cap is an indispensable accessory designed to provide maximum protection for your valuable forestry fire hose couplings cap. Made to fit SL25 and SL40 female threads, this robust cap is far more than a cover; it’s a proactive maintenance tool. It creates a secure, environmental seal that shields precision threads from dirt, sand, moisture, and physical impacts during transport, storage, or when a hose line is disconnected. By ensuring your coupling threads remain clean, undamaged, and ready for action, this cap eliminates connection failures and guarantees a fast, leak-free hookup when seconds count, directly supporting operational readiness and equipment longevity.
Guaranteed Thread Protection: Features an integrated, durable O-ring or flat gasket that creates a weatherproof and dust-proof seal. This prevents corrosion, thread galling, and debris ingress that can cause costly cross-threading or leaky connections.
Rugged, Loss-Resistant Design: Constructed from forged aluminum or bronze to match the durability of your couplings. Includes a prominent lanyard hole or forged eyelet, allowing it to be securely tethered to the host coupling or storage point with a carabiner, preventing loss in the field.
Instant Deployment: Designed for tool-free, hand-tight operation. Its knurled or hex-edged rim allows for easy installation and removal even with gloved hands, making it quick to deploy the moment you need to cap a line.
Extends Equipment Life: By preventing damage to the more expensive coupling’s female threads, this forestry thread protector cap is a cost-effective investment that significantly reduces long-term maintenance and replacement costs for your entire hose system.
Pump and Appliance Protection: Screw onto the female discharge ports of portable pumps, forestry monitors, or hydrant valve outlets when not in use to keep threads pristine.
Hose Management: Cap the open ends of spare hose loads or deployed hose lines that have been disconnected, protecting them during dragging or while laid out on the ground.
Storage and Transport: Essential for protecting all open couplings on equipment stored in fire truck compartments, on reels, or during long-distance transport over rough terrain.
Preventative Maintenance: A must-have accessory for any forestry fire crew, ensuring that every coupling in the inventory is preserved and ready for instant, reliable connection.

Q: Is the sealing gasket replaceable if it wears out?
A: Yes. The gasket is designed as a standard, user-replaceable component. Replacement gasket kits are available from TOKAI MORITA to ensure the long-term service life of your cap.
Q: How does the cap stay on securely during rough transport?
A: It features a standard forestry thread for a secure hand-tight fit. For extreme conditions, the integrated lanyard hole allows you to use a safety wire or clip for added security, making it a vibration-resistant and loss-proof cap.
Q: Can this cap withstand being run over or heavy impacts?
A: The forged construction provides excellent resistance to crushing and deformation compared to cheaper cast caps. While not indestructible, it is designed to survive the typical rigors of wildland firefighting operations.
Q: Why is using a dedicated blank cap better than just covering a thread with a rag or tape?
A: A rag or tape offers no positive seal or mechanical protection. Our cap provides complete environmental sealing and a physical barrier against knocks and impacts, offering far superior protection for your critical equipment threads. It’s a professional-grade fire equipment accessory.
