Description
Overview:
This Blanking Cap 1/4" BSP Malleable Pipe Fitting is a compact, durable cap used to seal the open end of a pipe or a threaded port, helping to prevent leaks, dirt ingress, and damage during use, storage, or transport. Made from tough malleable iron for impact resistance, it suits everyday site work as well as workshop tasks. The cap has a female 1/4" BSP thread (1/4 inch ≈ 6.35 mm) to suit standard BSP male fittings used across construction, agriculture, and garden machinery. It is suitable for air, water, and general service lines found on compressors, pumps, pressure washers, irrigation manifolds, and plant equipment. Simple to install and remove, it supports both temporary and long‐term closure when used with appropriate thread sealant.
Key Features:
- Female 1/4" BSP thread (1/4 inch ≈ 6.35 mm) for standard UK pipe systems
