Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks! I think that the cap is there for anti-leak purposes, but this PAF is a kind of clamp to help you put the cap onto the valve. Then you make a couple of holes through the cap and the valve, and you thread a wire through them to show that it has been sealed. Profilés à Froid was suggested, but that doesn't work 100%!

Asker: Je pense que c'est connecté avec le profilage a froid, parce que j'ai vu une description d'une presse qui est pareille à celle-ci. Merci pour l'aide en tout cas!
