The Forgefix TechFast Cover Caps are designed for contractors and DIY enthusiasts who need a professional, concealed finish for exterior installations. These poppy red caps offer a significant aesthetic upgrade by hiding exposed hex head screws and protecting the fastener from the elements, though they are strictly limited to compatibility with 8mm hex head screws featuring 16mm washers.

Yes, they are designed for exterior use and include materials that resist fading and degradation from sunlight.
No, these are strictly engineered for 8mm hex head screws.
Each pack contains 100 individual cover caps.
They can be removed, but the friction-fit tabs may lose integrity over time, so reuse is not recommended.
No, the cap is sized specifically for a 16mm washer diameter to ensure a proper aesthetic fit.
Ensure the screw is an 8mm hex head and the washer is exactly 16mm. If the screw is overtightened, the washer may be distorted, preventing the cap from gripping.
Check that the screw head is fully clear of debris and that the washer is seated flat against the material surface.
To install, ensure the 8mm hex head screw is driven to the correct depth without over-compressing the 16mm washer. Align the internal geometry of the cap with the hex head and apply firm manual pressure until you feel a positive 'click' indicating the cap is seated. These caps require no maintenance, but you should periodically check after extreme weather events to ensure none have dislodged due to thermal expansion or vibration. If removal is required for maintenance, use a flat-head screwdriver to gently pry the edge of the cap off the washer.
