what thread size does this cap fit exactly? got a flared fitting i need to protect and wanna make sure before i order

Fits a 1-1/16-14 thread, which is the standard -12 SAE size. If your flared fitting matches that spec, this cap will thread right on and keep the fitting protected until you're ready to use it.

Question by: Dwayne C on Oct 28, 2025, 2:09 PM

does this cap fit a -12 SAE flared fitting, the 1-1/16-14 thread size?

Answer by: Customer Support on Oct 30, 2025, 6:58 AM

That's what it's made for. The G-23 is sized for -12 SAE, which runs a 1-1/16-14 thread pitch, so it'll thread right onto a flared fitting of that size without any adapters or fuss.
