Key Design Features
Standard receptacle mount: the BCR is the single-hole bulkhead receptacle of the 55 series family — less expensive than the FCR and compatible with any 55 series plug. When used with a right-angle plug (55R1), a BCR retaining ring replaces the tapped threads to preserve keyway orientation.
Industry Standard Compatibility: mates with existing Burton 5500 series hardware — drop-in replacement without re-machining panels.
Proven sealing technology: O-ring face seal with socket inserts in a moulded neoprene insulator.
Heavy-duty stub Acme threads: rugged finger-tight coupling resistant to vibration and handling damage.
5501-1508 dummy plug and pressure-rated blanking caps available
