1. What about the COST TO BENEFIT ratio of the "Yellow Jacket" Weather Cap?

Our "Yellow Jacket" provides relief valves with the most reliable, positive protection available thereby reducing replacement parts and valve maintenance cost to an absolute minimum.

2. Is the "Yellow Jacket" available with a flat top surface instead of the 45° angle top surface?

NO. The slope design sheds debris and precipitation, prevents sagging and deflects damaging environmental particles. The 45° slope contributes to extended product life and structural stability. The "Yellow Jacket" offers the same valve protection when installed on an exhaust pipe with a 90°(flat top surface) cut as one with the 45° cut.

3. Is the "Yellow Jacket" available in any color other than Chrome Yellow?

YES. Chrome Yellow is the most visible color available. Our product may be special ordered* in other colors. Special order shipments will require 2 weeks for the sample color to be approved. Followed by a minimum of 30 business days for the first shipment. (Call your distributor for information).

NO. Not at this time. Larger sizes require milling of special molds. Special order sizes will be considered when requested. (Call for information).

NO. However, the lanyard attachment may be easily removed.
