When you remove a hose, immediately insert a VHI plug into the open port. Do not set the plug down on the shop floor. Use the "clean hand/dirty hand" principle: one hand holds the plug, the other touches the machine.

Download the VHI PC-Kit sizing guide or contact a reliability engineer to build a custom kit for your fleet. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) Q: Can I wash and reuse the caps from a VHI PC-Kit? A: Only if you purchase the designated "Reusable (R-Series)" kit. Standard disposable caps lose their sealing elasticity after removal.

Before you uncap a hydraulic line, wipe the exterior of the fitting with a VHI lint-free wipe soaked in the system's fluid . This lubricates the threads and prevents dry galling.
