Dorman vacuum caps are passive components designed to seal off open vacuum lines or ports. Their primary function is to prevent air leaks into or out of a vacuum system, which can disrupt engine performance, fuel efficiency, and emission control.

Once installed, the caps maintain the integrity of the vacuum system by blocking unintended air flow. They are commonly used during diagnostic procedures to isolate sections of the vacuum system or to permanently cap off unused ports on components like carburetors, intake manifolds, or emission control devices.
