VALCRUM 10K-16K OIL HUB CAP, HYDRO-SHIELD (LIPPERT)

A 10K–16K Oil Hub Cap, Hydro-Shield (Lippert) is a wheel-end component used on heavy-duty trailer axles to retain and protect the wheel hub lubricant (oil) while helping prevent contamination from entering the hub assembly.

Function

• Seals the wheel hub: Helps contain the oil lubricant inside the hub.
• Protects bearings: Keeps dirt, water, and other contaminants away from the wheel bearings.
• Maintains lubrication: Allows the hub to operate with the proper oil level for bearing lubrication and cooling.
• Provides visual inspection: The Hydro-Shield-style cap is typically designed to allow the lubricant condition/level to be monitored without removing the cap.
• Supports wheel-end reliability: Proper sealing and lubrication help reduce bearing wear, overheating, and premature wheel-end failure.
