NTC Wind Energy
NTC Wind Energy’s patented IronClad bolt caps for the wind industry are made of UV resistant HDPE, manufactured specifically for the make and size of foundation anchor bolts. Bolt caps are intended to prevent water from intrud- ing into the bolt sleeves, prevent the grease applied to the rod from dissipating by sealing it from air and water, and
to mitigate the safety hazard of exposed bolts. All of NTC Wind Energy’s caps are precisely sized to assure a good fit on the flats of the nut, thereby maintaining a positive seal against the tower flange at the flexible bottom “skirt” of the cap. IronClad foundation anchor bolt caps can be purchased in Standard Duty or Extreme Duty, and in multiple lengths. www.ntcwind.com
