Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a slotted and an unslotted drive?
A slotted drive cap has a single slot or groove cut into the top of the cap. This slot allows a flathead screwdriver to be inserted into the slot to tighten or loosen the cap. Unslotted drive caps, on the other hand, have a smooth, unmarked surface on the top so that the hammer can be struck directly with a hammer or mallet to drive the cap onto the plumbing assembly.
Can I remove the binding cap once installed?
Yes, removable binding drive caps are specially designed to be easily removed or reused in plumbing assemblies. They come with a threaded end that allows them to be quickly tightened or loosened around the assembly to form a secure connection.
Are binding caps suitable for high-temperature applications?
Binding drive caps are suitable for medium-temperature applications ranging between 53 and 93 degrees Fahrenheit. However, these caps should be avoided in high temperatures to prevent softening or deformation of the plastic body.
