-
What are AN hose blanking plugs used for?
AN hose blanking plugs are designed to close unused female AN hose ends and fittings, helping prevent fluid loss and contamination while the connection is blanked.
-
What type of connection do these plugs fit?
They have a male AN connection and are designed to fit a corresponding female AN 37° flare connection.
-
How do AN hose blanking plugs seal?
The male 37° flare on the plug seats against the corresponding female flare in the AN fitting or hose end. The flare surfaces create the fluid seal rather than the threads themselves.
-
Do AN hose blanking plugs require an O-ring?
No. The connection seals on the mating 37° flare surfaces and does not require an O-ring.
-
Should I use PTFE tape or thread sealant?
No. Thread sealant or PTFE tape should not be used on the AN thread. The connection seals on the 37° flare rather than on the thread.
-
What material are the blanking plugs made from?
They are manufactured from 6061-T6 aluminium and finished with black anodising for protection against wear and corrosion.
