-
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.
