Tips

Before installing, ensure the M12 socket is clean and dry. Hand-tighten the cap firmly, but avoid over-torquing to prevent thread damage. For outdoor use, periodically inspect the cap for wear and replace if the sealing surface is compromised. Keep spare caps on hand to protect all unused ports during maintenance or storage.
