Technical Specifications
Bayonet Coupler Protection Configuration
The BCP-200 installs into a compatible 2" bayonet-style dry disconnect coupler when the connection is not actively coupled to an adapter.
The flexible rubber plug covers the coupler opening while the stainless steel chain keeps the protective plug attached to the coupler.
Bayonet Dry Disconnect Dust Plug Design
Dixon identifies the BCP-200 as the 2" coupler plug for its bayonet-style dry disconnect system. It is intended to protect the coupler opening whenever the dry disconnect connection is not in active use.
Confirm the 2" coupler size before ordering. The BCP-200 should be matched with compatible 2" Dixon bayonet dry disconnect couplers.
Dixon manufactures the dust plug from flexible rubber for simple installation and removal. The material allows the plug to fit over the coupler opening while providing protection during storage and transport.
Inspect the rubber regularly for cuts, tearing, hardening, or deformation. A damaged plug may no longer provide effective protection from environmental contamination.
The BCP-200 includes a stainless steel chain used to secure the plug to the coupler. The chain helps keep the protective plug with the assembly when it is removed during transfer operations.
Inspect the chain and attachment points during routine maintenance. Replace damaged components so the plug remains secured to the coupler when not installed.
Dixon states that bayonet dry disconnect caps and plugs help keep dirt, debris, and water out of the connection. This helps prevent buildup on the sealing surface that can contribute to premature seal failure.
Keep the plug itself clean before reinstalling it on the coupler. Contaminants trapped on the plug should not be introduced into the sealing area during storage or handling.
Installation & Selection Considerations
Confirm Dixon part number BCP-200.
Verify the required 2" size.
Confirm bayonet coupler compatibility.
Inspect the rubber plug condition.
Check the retaining chain attachment.
Our product specialists can help review the BCP-200 part number, 2" coupler size, bayonet dry disconnect compatibility, and existing Dixon coupler configuration before you order.
