Introduction to Different Size Debris Caps
So often in life, it seems, the best solution is often the simplest solution. The Debris Cap is the definition of a simple yet incredibly effective solution. The Debris Cap is designed to keep pipes and valves free of dirt and debris. Utility companies must send their employees to service and maintain pipes and valves, and ensure they remain dirt and debris free because, should dirt and debris accumulate, it can eventually lead to erosion and damage to pipes and valves. When damage occurs it could not only be a costly and frustrating problem, but a dangerous problem as well. Utility companies, emergency response crews and municipalities across the country are all implementing debris caps because they protect pipes and valves from dirt, debris and damage, reduce response time and property damage during an emergency water line break or gas leak, prevents unauthorized operation of valves, cuts liability, insurance and maintenance costs, allows for easy location of buried caps with the optional 3M locator coil, and makes it simple to customize your own color-coded system. Debris caps come in a variety of sizes to accommodate any client's needs. Below we go over the different sizes available and elaborate on the specifics of each size.
