🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta cap 885475, listed at 0.34 kg. The run also holds a protective cap, 885510 at 0.005 kg, which is a different item under a different name, so check which one the procedure calls for.

⚙️ Key Features

• 0.34 kg
• Distinct from protective cap 885510 at 0.005 kg
• Genuine Volvo Penta service tooling

🔌 Function

Closes off a machined face or opening while the assembly is apart or under test.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Sealing or contact face nicked and no longer sitting flat
• Thread crossed or picking up
• Cracked or distorted body
• Leaking or weeping at the joint when fitted

🛠️ Service Notes

• Clean and inspect the seating face on the housing as well as the cap — most leaks past a cap are the seat or the seal rather than the cap body
• Renew any separate O-ring or gasket that goes with the cap, and lubricate rubber seals lightly with clean oil or grease so they slide home instead of rolling or tearing
• Do not over-tighten a cap into a plastic or aluminium housing; it seals on its gasket or O-ring, not on force, and stripped threads mean a much bigger repair
• Where a cap blanks a port during a repair, keep it fitted right up to the moment of assembly so nothing enters the opening
• Check the cap is fully home and that any retaining clip, lanyard or locking tab is secure before returning the boat to service
