Good To Know
Q: Will this cap fit my machine if it has a different serial number?A: The cap is sized for the listed models, but serial number breaks can affect fit, so confirm your machine's serial range before ordering.
Q: Does this cap include a tether?A: A tether is not included, and the cap is installed directly onto the tank neck for a secure seal.
Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
