Default protecting exposed threads on torches?

Grant Erwin wrote:
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?

Google for "caplugs", they probably made the ones you are talking about.
They will send (a few) samples if you ask nicely.
