a. Full thread designation and dimensional reference.
b. Pin or box end configuration.
c. Engagement length and coverage of vulnerable threads.
d. End-face and shoulder clearances.
e. Wall sections and reinforcement geometry.
f. Grip dimensions and removal access.
g. Acceptable flash and parting-line locations.
3. How should an injection-molded sample be checked?
1. Compare critical dimensions with the approved drawing.
2. Confirm the resin grade and color identification.
3. Check thread engagement on the intended connection.
4. Inspect molding defects, flash and surface requirements.
5. Record agreed fit and handling-test results for approval.
4. What should accompany a repeat order?

For molded pipe cap enquiries, include the connection details and sample approval requirements so tooling and inspection can be reviewed for the correct part.

Custom caps can be reviewed from a drawing or sample; changes to resin or geometry require renewed fit review.
