All Aircraft…
If your TM doesn’t list
caps or plugs to use, use
this list to identify plugs
and caps needed to seal
fluid systems and protect
threads on your bird…
So use and reuse caps
and plugs that come
with components, hoses,
lines and fittings. Check
and cap, bag or wrap
all exposed openings
and lines to prevent
fluid spills, moisture in
oil and dirt buildup.
This is what
you’ll get…
✔
Dirt in open lines
contaminates fluids and residue
won’t let connectors seal.
✔
Moisture in lube becomes
paste and can’t do its job.
✔
Threads get smashed, and
delicate connector pins get
broken or bent.
Cap, bag, and plug all
lines, tubes and fittings.

If we
work
together…
…we can
beat ‘em
every time!
the time
has come!
attack all
exposed
openings!
caps and plugs…
protect
those lines!
Leaving aircraft
lines, tubes and
fittings uncovered
without caps,
bags or plugs
while doing checks
or maintenance is
a bad check
against
you.
