Abstract
A cap removal device is adapted to remove end caps from water pump devices. The cap removal device has a cap remover that is adapted to be secured to the end caps of pressure vessels. The cap removal device further has a honed tube that is adapted to stabilize the cap removal device and the end cap during removal of the end cap thereby preventing cross-threading. The cap removal device also has a puller handle that is adapted to make removal of the end cap more efficient.
Claims20
A device for removing end caps from a vessel, the device comprising:
- a cap remover adapted to be secured to an end cap of the vessel;
- a honed tube adapted to be secured to the end cap and to stabilize the device when removing the end cap from the vessel, wherein the honed tube has a larger diameter than the cap remover;
- and
- a puller handle adapted to be secured to the cap remover, wherein movement of the puller handle removes the end cap from the vessel.
A cap removal device for removing end caps from a reverse osmosis pressure vessel, the device comprising:
- a cap remover adapted to be secured to an end cap of a reverse osmosis pressure vessel;
- a honed tube adapted to be secured to the end cap and adapted to stabilize the cap removal device when removing the end cap from reverse osmosis pressure vessel, wherein the honed tube has a larger circumference than the cap remover;
- and
- a puller handle adapted to be secured to the cap remover, wherein movement of the puller handle removes the end cap from the reverse osmosis pressure vessel.
A method of removing an end cap from a reverse osmosis pressure device, the method comprising:
- securing a cap remover to the end cap of the reverse osmosis pressure vessel;
- securing a honed tube to the cap remover and the end cap of the pressure vessel;
- stabilizing the cap remover with the honed tube;
- securing the puller handle to the cap remover;
- and
- removing the end cap from the reverse osmosis pressure vessel via movement of the puller handle.
