The Van Line Hydraulic BSPP Blanking Cap (HY181) offers a secure and reliable seal for 3/8" BSPP threads, preventing contamination and fluid loss.

BSPP stands for British Standard Pipe Parallel. It is a type of pipe thread used for mechanical joints and sealing.
A blanking cap is used to seal off open ports or connections in a hydraulic system, preventing contamination and fluid loss.
You need a 3/8" BSPP cap if the port you wish to seal has a 3/8" diameter and uses a BSPP thread standard. Consult your equipment's manual if unsure.
These caps are designed for sealing ports, typically when not in active use or during maintenance. For specific high-pressure applications while the system is operational, consult the product's technical specifications or a hydraulic specialist.
The product description does not specify the exact material, but they are typically made from durable materials suitable for hydraulic environments.
Yes, Van Line offers other sizes, including 1/4", 1/2", 5/8", and 1" BSPP blanking caps. Refer to the product siblings for details.
The approximate weight of the pack of 5 caps is 0.238kg.
Verify that the port has a 3/8" BSPP thread and that there is no debris or damage to the port or the cap's threads.
Ensure the cap is tightened sufficiently. If the leak persists, check for damage to the threads on both the cap and the port, or consider replacing the cap if it is worn or damaged.
Avoid overtightening during installation. Use appropriate wrench leverage for removal, ensuring the wrench is securely fitted to the cap.
Setup: To install, simply screw the blanking cap by hand into the 3/8" BSPP threaded port until snug. For a secure seal, a wrench may be used for a final quarter-turn, being careful not to overtighten, which could damage the threads or the cap.
Compatibility: This cap is specifically designed for ports with a 3/8" BSPP thread. Ensure your system uses this exact thread standard. It is not compatible with NPT, JIC, or other thread types. Check the product siblings for alternative sizes (e.g., 1/4", 1/2", 5/8", 1").
Care: These blanking caps are designed for sealing and protection. Keep them clean and free from excessive dirt or debris before installation. Inspect for any signs of damage before use. As they are typically used to protect ports, they require minimal direct care but should be stored in a clean, dry environment.
