Frequently Asked Questions
  • 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.
