-
What are AN blanking caps used for?
AN blanking caps are used to close open male AN connections on hoses, adapters and other fluid-system components.
-
What type of connection do these caps fit?
They have a female AN connection and are designed to fit a corresponding male AN 37° flare connection.
-
How do AN blanking caps seal?
The fluid seal is created where the female 37° flare inside the cap seats against the 37° flare of the male AN connection. The UNF thread holds the two sealing surfaces together but does not itself provide the fluid seal.
-
Do AN blanking caps 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 are the AN blanking caps made from?
They are precision-machined from 6061-T6 aluminium and finished with black anodising for protection against wear and corrosion.
