Frequently Asked Question
An ACME dust cap protects the threaded ammonia valve connection when not in use. Often referred to as a nurse tank cap or ammonia tank cap, it keeps dirt and moisture out of ammonia fittings so the connection seals properly during the next hookup.
Most nurse tanks use 1-3/4", 2-1/4", or 3-1/4" ACME dust caps, depending on the valve connection. Matching the correct size ensures the nurse tank cap fully covers the ammonia fitting and prevents leaks during transfer.
Dirty ammonia fittings can prevent the valve from sealing correctly, leading to vapor leaks during filling or application. Using a protective ammonia tank cap helps keep threads clean and ensures a safe, fast connection.
Replace ACME dust caps if the threads become worn, dented, or no longer tighten securely onto the ammonia fitting. A damaged nurse tank cap may allow contamination into the valve and cause sealing problems.
Steel ACME dust caps provide maximum durability for frequent handling and transport. Nylon dust caps offer corrosion resistance and lighter weight while still protecting ammonia tank fittings and valve connections.
