496900 Blanking Plate

The 496900 BLANKING PLATE by Blackmer is a high-quality pump component designed for positive displacement and sliding vane pump applications. Manufactured to exact specifications, it ensures optimal sealing and structural integrity within pump assemblies. The blanking plate is made from durable materials such as cast iron or steel, offering resistance to corrosion, wear, and high operating pressures, which enhances its longevity and reliability. Typically, the blanking plate measures approximately 12 inches in diameter, with bolt hole patterns that accommodate standard pump models. Its precise fitment supports efficient maintenance and parts replacement, reducing downtime. The 496900 BLANKING PLATE features multiple bolt holes—usually around 8 to 12—allowing secure attachment to compatible pump housings. It performs effectively in fluid handling environments involving hydraulic oils, solvents, or lubricants, making it ideal for industrial, chemical, or manufacturing sectors. This component is commonly used to seal off or block specific pump ports during maintenance or assembly, preventing fluid leaks. Kits shipped include the blanking plate itself; other gaskets or fasteners are typically purchased separately. Proper care involves regular inspection for corrosion or damage, and cleaning with appropriate solvents. The blanking plate may come with a manufacturer warranty covering manufacturing defects, ensuring durability and peace of mind. Engineered for demanding industrial applications, the 496900 BLANKING PLATE is an essential part for maintaining optimal pump performance and safety compliance. Suppliers like KI Pumps of Waukesha, WI, distribute this component, supporting global industries with reliable and precise pump parts.
