Besides keeping contaminates out of your compressed air supply, a blanking plug is also useful to prevent air loss from a pneumatic system as it safely and firmly seals an open outlet port. What is galvanised steel? Galvanised steel is clean steel that has been coated in molten zinc. This surface coating ensures the metal won't shrink or crack as the zinc is metallurgically bonded to the steel it protects.
