Most torches I've owned have 9/16-18 threads for connection to the
welding hose (RH for oxygen, LH for fuel). I recently bought a used
torch which had little red plastic caps over the exposed 9/16"
threads. I thought that was a great idea, protecting the threads.
Anyone know where I can buy these little plastic caps designed to
fit over torch threads?

They're called "CapPlugs" in one brand name. They're commonly
available in small quanitites from most plastics distributors who
supply bulk plastic bags, shrink wrap, etc.

They're available in nominal o.d. and nominal i.d. shapes to fit
almost any male or female fitting you can imagine -- all the way from
1/8" i.d. to 10" .

Caplug is the easiest place to get samples from. They will drop a few in
the mail for free, just ask. You can even email a request. Mcmaster
carries some and even Lowes and Home Depot (cough, cough, blow%&**^) has
some.
