A driving cap is made of much thicker or more durable material than a standard pipe cap and is always removed once installation is complete. Driving caps serve no function in the operation of a pipe and may even be incapable of doing so. This is because the driving cap is cast from a material selected for its strength and not its corrosion resistance. Thus replacement of the driving cap with a different fitting becomes necessary to prevent failures in materials handling pipe. Also, driving caps are not attractive in appearance, which is detrimental in residential and ornamental applications. == References == - [[Professional Practice/Codes & Standards/National Building Code of India/Part 10 - Landscape and Signs/Section 1 - Landscape Planning]] - [[Professional Practice/Codes & Standards/National Building Code of India/Part 10 - Landscape and Signs]] - [[Landscape/Landscape Design]] - [[Landscape]] - [[Professional Practice/Codes & Standards/National Building Code of India/Part 10 - Landscape and Signs/Section 2 - Signs and Display]] - [[Landscape/Surveying & Mapping]]
