Snap-Caps™

The original Cap & Washer screw covers

Snap-Caps ( aka "Dome caps" or "UniCaps") were developed more than 40 years ago, and are still the best and most secure way to cover and protect screws, fixings and fasteners.

Snap-Caps:

  • protect against injury from damaged and burred fixings
  • encase the screwhead in an air & watertight seal,  preventing corrosion 
  • The security of this seal also makes the caps tamper-resistant
  • can save you time, effort and money by allowing use of cheaper fixings and more simple fixing methods.

Prices from just £18.50 (per bag of 1,000 caps or washers)

How do Snap-Caps work?

Snap-Caps are a 2-part product, comprising:

  • a plastic washer (base), through which the screw or other fixing is inserted, and
  • a plastic cap (dome), which locks over the washer, providing an air & watertight seal that protects the fastener head from rust and corrosion. 

Snap-Caps are available in three sizes:

  • Size 4/5 suits 4gge to 5gge (Metric 3 – 3.5);
  • Size 6/8 suits 6gge to 8gge (Metric 3.5 to 4.2); and
  • Size 10/12 suits 10gge to 12gge and ¼” (Metric 4.5 to 6)

With 96 colours and your choice of Gloss or Matt finishes (all held in stock in the UK), Snap-Caps can match 1000's of materials, including laminates, composite panels, paints, fabrics, powdercoats & vinyls used in the UK - making Snap-Caps a very cost-effective way to not just hide, but also protect your fixings.

CSK Washer F/B Washer

The Snap-Cap washer is available to suit either Countersunk screws, or for any of the ‘Flat-Bottom’ fixings (such as pan-head screws).  Using the correct washer type will support your fixing properly, giving improved clamping performance and prevent the screw distorting the washer - crucial to why genuine Snap-Caps are the ONLY cover caps that COMPLETELY seal the head of the fixing.

How to use Snap-Caps

The fixing is secured through the washer into the workpiece. The cap is then "snapped" over the washer, mating by means of an interlocking peripheral groove and flange. This provides an airtight and watertight seal that excludes atmosphere and protects the fastener head from rust and corrosion.


Why is the airtight seal important?

It all has to do with how gases and water vapour behave in enclosed spaces, and is governed by a few Laws of Physics, such as Boyle’s, Charles’, Dalton’s & Henry’s. In essence, once water enters a space (because it is not sealed properly) instead of the water evaporating out again later, it becomes water vapour and remains in the space for a much longer time.

In a climate such as the UK’s, this means the screw-head is continually in water & oxygen environment, never getting to dry out properly. This can cause the fastener to corrode (rust) up to 20 times faster than if a cap had NOT been used!

This effect can be easily confirmed, by examining vehicles that use hinge-caps over the number-plate fixings. Even on cars less than 6 months old, zinc-coated screws will show signs of advanced corrosion.

Similar issues arise with ‘polytop’ style plastic-coated screws. Often the plastic coating will crack as the screw is being tightened into place. Water can enter these cracks and cause accelerated corrosion, resulting in visible rust streaks.

 

Uses & Applications

Because they are UV-stabilised and completely seal the head of the fixing, Snap-Caps are ideal for exterior as well as interior applications. Even in extreme environments, Snap-Caps can be expected to last for 10-15 years, all the while protecting the screwhead against corrosion.

Snap-Caps are used in the following industries:

  • Aluminium frames (showerscreens, windows, doors and wardrobes)
  • Shopfitters
  • Caravans, mobile homes & transportable homes
  • Boats (from small runabouts to Navy frigates, high-speed ferries and ocean liners)
  • Signs
  • Vehicle number plates – specific colours are available to match UK front and rear plates
  • Cabinetry (concealing all types of fixings, incl. the screws used with door handles and knobs)
  • Furniture upholstery
  • White goods
  • Electrical and signalling control boxes and panels (Snap-Caps are an excellent way to insulate fasteners)
  • Other vehicle applications – buses, trains etc, Horse floats and other trailers
  • Aircraft – private and corporate aircraft up to BA 777’s and Airbuses
  • Aftermarket decoration of motorcycles, SUV’s, lorries and HGV cabs

After an excellent chat with one of your employees who patiently guided me to select the right product (exact size in this case did matter) we were over the moon to find that the snap caps did the job on the reverse side of a pop rivet perfectly, I will be putting in another order very soon.

From ScrewCaps UK

Hi Katie, I note that you are a regular buyer of Snap-Caps and we really appreciate this.  We are happy to offer a Trading Facility (Account) to customers trading in excess of £200 per month. Below this value does not justify the costs of maintaining an account due to the finance and administrative costs of double-handling these transactions. Having customers who order in smaller lots, or less frequently, pay by bank transfer or Credit Card, helps hold our costs down and therefore our prices.  More information about this can be found on the FAQ page.  Should you find your company buying in larger monthly values in the future, we would be delighted to offer you the trading facility.

 

Thank you!

Hi Kevin, Thanks for your order and we hope the caps were ideal for your purpose.  A lot of our customers need guaranteed overnight delivery which we are able to offer to most of the UK with the couriers we use (so long as orders are received before 3.30pm).  According to the courier records, you signed for the caps on January 29, so we can confirm this was a next-day delivery for you also.

 

Great, responsive service!

Having used other suppliers in the past this time I researched the product and found the direct resellers. Charming on the phone & polite emails were all very forthcoming. The product itself is bar far the best solution to hiding screw heads IMHO and Pro-Dec provided a very competitive price with a next day delivery service. Colour swatch card will be inevitable for future builds which I will not hesitate to obtain quotes & stock from again. Many Thanks.

 

everything was great

Silver Grey & Blaze Snap Caps

Very happy with the Snap Caps ordered from Screw Caps UK last week. The Silver Grey & Blaze colours matched up really well to the powder coated cladding we were installing. The Snap Caps are a really easy way of covering up screw heads and are so easy to install. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend these screw caps and the service provided by Screw Caps UK.

Fantastic product range

Couldn't be happier with the snap caps. The range of colours is outstanding and we managed to match our clients red and a bronze metallic! perfectly. We wouldn't usually use screw fixings to secure our graphics as our client demands such a high quality finish but having had issues in the past using high bond tapes at this particular location the snap caps were the perfect solution. The sample pack to choose colours is great, it contains all the colours and all the different styles available. Service is fantastic from the staff and delivery is next day.

We placed an order on a weekend using the downloadable order form which we printed off, completed, scanned and emailed back across with our card details. The order was acknowledged and a query as to whether we wanted matt or gloss finish was emailed which we replied to. The next day the materials all arrived along with a sample pack which is a great help to us now for choosing the best colour match to our furniture. Will definitely be using over and over again.

 

Great product and service.

Working in Winter - Using Snap-Caps in Cold Weather

Snap-Caps are designed and moulded to very fine tolerances.  The Cap & Washer interock together with a perfect air and watertight seal, protecting the head of the fixing against rusting for many years.  This also results in a very secure Cap that resists tampering.

Both cap and washer rely on the plastic distorting as the cap locks over the washer.  As the plastic become colder, it stiffens and does not flex as much.  For the type of plastic used for Snap-Caps, these changes to the behaviour of the plastic are most noticable when the plastic is below 15°C.

Fitting the Cap to the Washer may require more force.  It may also result in a white 'stress' ring forming around the perimeter of the cap. The white ring may disappear over time, especially if the caps are warmed up.

The Fix: Before using, simply warm the caps in an 'inside' pocket (ie close to your body), or in an oven or similar warming device to a maximum of 100°C. Once fitted, Snap-Caps can endure temperatures from -35°C to 120°C without problems. Because Snap-Caps are UV-stabilised, they can be used both indoors and outdoors.

 

Difficulty "snapping" the Cap onto the Washer

If you experience difficulty in locking the Cap over the Washer, and/or a White 'stress' ring (or halo) forms around the perimeter of the cap, there are a number of likely causes:

  • The Caps are too cold, and the plastic will not flex

The Fix: See "Using Plastic Caps in Cold Weather" (above).

  • The fixings you are using are too large for the Washer.  This prevents the Washer from flexing as the Cap is being pushed on.

The Fix:

  • Ensure you are using the correct-sized Snap-Cap for the fixing.  Some imported fixings may not conform to British or EU standards, and the heads of the fixings may be up to 40% oversized
  • Ensure you are using the correct Washer type for the head of the fixing - you MUST use a CSK Washer with Countersunk-head fixings, and F/B Washer for all "flat-bottomed" fixings such as pan-heads, flange-heads etc.
  • Try the Snap-Cap with a smaller fixing.
  • You are not using the correct technique to fit the Cap to the Washer.  Because Snap-Caps are designed and moulded to very fine tolerances, the caps cannot be pushed on "flat".  Do NOT hit Caps with a hammer (or similar) - it will cause the Caps to split

The Fix: Use the correct fitting technique.  Click diagram for details.
