Instal·lació i ús
Dorman Vacuum Bypass Caps are designed for temporary or permanent sealing of open vacuum lines, ports, or hoses in automotive systems. Proper installation ensures a leak-free seal, which is critical for engine performance and emission control.
Passos d'instal·lació:
- Identify the Target Line/Port: Locate the vacuum line, hose, or port that requires capping. Ensure the area is clean and free of debris or oil.
- Select the Correct Cap Size: Choose a vacuum bypass cap from the assortment that matches the internal diameter (ID) of the line or port. The cap should fit snugly to create a tight seal. If unsure, start with a slightly smaller size to ensure a secure fit, as the vinyl material is designed to stretch slightly.

- Verificar el segell: After installation, gently tug on the cap to confirm it is securely attached. For critical applications, a vacuum leak test may be performed to ensure no air is entering or escaping the sealed line.
Typical Usage Scenarios:
