The difference between Hexagon cap and round cap：

Hexagonal caps and round caps are two different cap, which differ in shape and purpose.

In shape, hexagon cap has six sides, each connected to a center point. This shape makes the hexagon plug have high strength and stability, and can withstand greater pressure and weight.Round cap has a round shape and are usually used to seal the ports of pipes.

In purpose, hexagon caps are usually used for pipe connections that require higher strength and stability.Round caps fit snugly into the pipe’s port to prevent fluid leakage.

How to choose cap？

When choosing between hexagonal cap and round cap, it needs to be evaluated based on specific application scenarios and needs. For example, if the pipe port you need to connect is hexagonal, then a hexagonal pipe cap may be a better choice. If the pipe port that needs to be sealed is round, then a round pipe cap may be more suitable. In addition, factors such as the size of the pipe, operating pressure, fluid type, etc. need to be considered to ensure that the appropriate fittings are selected.
