Another thing I also have to do is either hose clamp or zip tie the caps on because at 18 psi they tend to blow off - even if they're on real snug.
Those are the ones to get. I got tired of the rubber ones dry rotting all the time, and switched to the vinyl colored ones, and haven't had any problems with them. Theyre flexible enough, and last forever.
