Default Re: Top cap shortage?

I would have assumed that pure copper would be a poor choice for Top Caps.

It is not very 'springy' and after many heating and cooling cycles would tend to work loose.

A steel spring outside a copper or brass sheet contact would probable be OK.

A short piece of high temperature silicon tubing to hold the contact in place, might be OK on the cooler receiving valves
