How to Install the Leverage Cap on F Series Batons

Quick Answer

Replace the standard cap on your F Series friction baton with the ASP Leverage Cap to improve retention and reach. The swap takes under a minute with no tools.

Installation Steps

1. Remove the Standard Cap: Unscrew the existing cap from the end of your F Series friction baton by turning it counterclockwise. Set it aside. Common mistake: forcing the cap if it feels stuck. Apply gentle pressure; the threads are fine and can cross-thread if you use too much force.
2. Align the Leverage Cap: Take the new Leverage Cap and align its threads with the baton's end. Start turning it clockwise by hand until you feel the threads catch evenly. Checkpoint: the cap should spin freely for the first few turns. If it resists, back it off and realign before continuing.
3. Tighten Securely: Continue turning the cap clockwise until it is snug against the baton body. Hand-tighten only—do not use tools, as overtightening can damage the threads or the cap itself. Common mistake: overtightening with pliers or a wrench. Hand-tight is sufficient for a secure fit during field use.
4. Test Retention and Draw: Grip the baton near the new cap and simulate a retention position. Practice drawing from your scabbard to ensure the extra length does not hinder your deployment. Checkpoint: if the cap snags on your scabbard, adjust your carry angle or consider a scabbard with a slightly larger opening.
