Blanking Caps

Hydraulic Blanking Caps

Hydraulic blanking caps, similar to hydraulic blanking plugs, are used to seal off the ends of hydraulic fittings, ports, or hoses when they are not in use. While blanking plugs typically seal the inside of a fitting, blanking caps cover the outside. Here are their main functions:

Contamination Prevention: Blanking caps protect the hydraulic system from contaminants such as dirt, dust, moisture, and debris by covering exposed fittings or ports, which helps in maintaining system cleanliness and preventing damage.

Leak Prevention: These caps help to prevent hydraulic fluid from leaking out of unused ports or fittings, maintaining system integrity and operational efficiency.

System Protection During Maintenance and Storage: Blanking caps are often used to protect hydraulic components during periods of maintenance, storage, or transport, ensuring that the system remains sealed and ready for use.

Pressure Containment: Some blanking caps are designed to withstand high pressures, ensuring that the hydraulic system remains sealed even under operational conditions.

Compatibility: They are available in various sizes and thread types to fit different hydraulic fittings and connectors, ensuring a secure and proper seal.
