The AirTAC Airtac P-ESV Blind Cover P-ESV400M-R2 is a genuine blank plate kit for the 400M manifold. It seals an unused valve station so the base stays leak-tight, letting you buy a longer manifold now and fill the spare stations later.
The P-ESV400M-R2 is a blank plate kit for the AirTAC 400M manifold that carries ESV-line 400-body valves. When a station on the base is not yet used, the open port would vent your supply straight to atmosphere. This plate closes that station so the remaining valves keep working and the bank stays leak-tight. The kit contains the blank plate and its screw, and one kit covers exactly one station.
The plate is a sealing part, not a valve. It does not change how the fitted valves behave, it does not reroute air, and it adds no function - it simply makes an empty station on the ESV400M base airtight. Because a blanked station can be reopened at any time by fitting a valve and removing the plate, it is the standard way to build spare capacity into a bank today.

This is a service part for the 400M manifold, not a valve. Check the manifold body size stamped on your base before ordering: a 400M blank plate does not fit a different body size.

A filler built with an ESV400M base sized for eight stations but commissioned with four: the four open ports are sealed with one P-ESV400M-R2 kit each so the line runs clean until new actuators are added.
A gantry cell with gripper circuits planned but not yet wired keeps its unused 400-body station sealed on the manifold, avoiding an open 1/2 inch port bleeding the shared supply.
When a technician moves a clamp valve off a 400M bank to a new machine section, the vacated station is blanked with this kit rather than left leaking, keeping the remaining cylinders alive.
Confirm the fit by the code stamped or printed on the base: the manifold must be a 400M station bar for ESV-line 400-body valves, with the 1/2 inch common inlet and 1/2 inch station ports of the 400 series. The plate seats on the valve face of a single station, so the body size is the only check that matters - there is no station count or thread variant to match. One plate blanks one station, so count your empty stations and order that many kits; a fully blanked 8-station 400M base takes 8 kits.
Quick checklist
One kit blanks exactly one station on the manifold, and the kit content is the blank plate plus its screw - nothing more. So a 400M base with two empty stations takes two kits, and a base bought long with all 8 of its maximum stations blanked takes 8 kits. Order one kit per empty station you want sealed.
Check the manifold code on the base. The P-ESV400M-R2 fits the 400M station bar built for ESV-line 400-body valves - the largest of the 100/200/300/400 manifold family, with a 1/2 inch common inlet and 1/2 inch station ports. A plate sized for a 400 face will not seal a smaller 100M, 200M or 300M base, so match the body size exactly.
