Frequently Asked Questions
  • What are AN hose blanking plugs used for?

    AN hose blanking plugs are designed to seal unused AN female hose ends and fittings. They help prevent fluid loss and contamination when a connection is temporarily or permanently unused.

  • What sizes are available?

    We offer the following AN sizes:

    • AN3 – 3/8"-24 UNF
    • AN4 – 7/16"-20 UNF
    • AN6 – 9/16"-18 UNF

    • AN10 – 7/8"-14 UNF
    • AN12 – 1 1/16"-12 UNF
    • AN16 – 1 5/16"-12 UNF
  • Are these blanking plugs compatible with your custom braided hoses?

    Yes. The plugs can be used to blank compatible AN female hose ends used on our custom braided hose assemblies. Select the plug that matches the AN size of the hose end.

  • How do AN hose blanking plugs seal?

    The plug uses a male JIC 37° flare which mates with the corresponding female flare in a compatible AN fitting or hose end. The flare surfaces create the fluid seal rather than the threads themselves.

  • What material are the blanking plugs made from?

    These blanking plugs are manufactured from 6061-T6 aluminium and finished with a durable black anodised coating for a lightweight, high-strength construction with protection against wear and corrosion.

  • Are these blanking plugs reusable?

    Yes. The plugs can be removed and reused, provided the threads and 37° flare sealing surface remain clean and undamaged.
