-
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 connection does this plug use?
This stainless steel version uses a -3 ORB male connection with a 3/8"-24 UNF thread.
-
How does an ORB port blanking plug seal?
The supplied O-ring creates the fluid seal against the mating ORB port. The threaded connection retains the plug rather than providing the fluid seal.
-
Is the O-ring included?
Yes. The plug is supplied with the sealing O-ring.
-
Is -3 ORB the same as AN3?
No. -3 ORB and AN3 use the same 3/8"-24 UNF thread dimensions but different sealing arrangements. ORB seals with an O-ring, while AN seals on a 37° flare.
-
Do ORB blanking plugs require thread sealant?
No. The fluid seal is provided by the O-ring, so thread sealant or PTFE tape should not be required when the plug is installed into the correct ORB port.
-
What is the blanking plug made from?
It is precision CNC machined from 303/304 stainless steel for excellent strength and durability.
-
Where is the blanking plug manufactured?
It is precision CNC machined in the United Kingdom.
