Description
Overview:
The Malleable Blanking Cap 3/8" BSP is a durable cap used to seal the end of a pipe or port on construction and garden machinery. Made from tough malleable iron, it provides a dependable closure to prevent leaks, protect threads, and maintain pressure when a connection is not required. The cap uses a standard 3/8" BSP thread size (approx. 9.5 mm) commonly found across hydraulic, pneumatic, and plumbing circuits on equipment such as compressors, pumps, and lawn care machines. Its sturdy build and corrosion-resistant finish make it suitable for workshop, site, and outdoor use. The cap is designed to be easy to fit and remove during routine maintenance or when isolating sections of a system for testing or repair.
Key Features:
- Malleable iron construction for strength and long service life
- Female 3/8" BSP thread (approx. 9.5 mm) for broad compatibility in UK machinery
- Helps achieve a secure, leak-resistant seal when used with suitable thread sealant or PTFE tape
- Corrosion- and wear-resistant finish to handle harsh site and weather conditions
- Clean, accurately cut threads for reliable engagement and easy starting
- Hex profile allows quick tightening and removal with a standard spanner
- Protects open ports from dirt and moisture ingress during storage or servicing
- Suitable for temporary isolation or permanent blanking of unused outlets
- Reusable component that supports routine inspection and pressure testing
- Versatile choice for hydraulic, pneumatic, water, and general plumbing lines
Typical Applications:
Sealing unused outlets on manifolds, pumps, cylinders, valves, and pipework. Isolating circuits during maintenance, fault-finding, or pressure testing. Protecting exposed male BSP threads on machinery in transit or storage. Common in site equipment, compressors, horticultural sprayers, pressure washers, and workshop plumbing where a 3/8" BSP (approx. 9.5 mm) female cap is required.
