Frequently Asked Questions
  • What are stainless steel ORB port blanking plugs used for?

    They are used to close unused female O-Ring Boss ports in compatible fluid-system components.

  • What ORB size is available?

    This stainless steel version is available in -3 ORB, which uses a 3/8"-24 UNF thread.

  • How does an ORB port blanking plug seal?

    An ORB connection uses a straight thread for retention while the fluid seal is created by an O-ring against the mating port.

  • Is -3 ORB the same as AN3?

    No. -3 ORB and AN3 use the same 3/8"-24 UNF thread size, but they use different sealing methods. ORB seals with an O-ring, while AN/JIC seals on a 37° flare.

  • Do ORB blanking plugs require thread sealant?

    No. The straight UNF thread provides retention rather than the fluid seal, so thread sealant or PTFE tape should not be required on a correctly matched ORB connection.

  • What are the blanking plugs made from?

    They are precision CNC machined from 303/304 stainless steel for excellent strength, durability and corrosion resistance.

  • Where are these blanking plugs manufactured?

    They are precision CNC machined in the United Kingdom.

  • What finish do the stainless steel plugs have?

    They have a natural stainless steel finish, providing corrosion resistance without an additional coating.

  • Are ORB port blanking plugs reusable?

    Yes, provided the threads, sealing surfaces and O-ring remain in good condition. Inspect the O-ring before reuse and replace it if damaged or deteriorated.
