Parker 12BLEN12-316 Compression Tube End Cap Ss

Product Description

The PARKER 12BLEN12-316 is a stainless steel compression tube end cap designed to terminate tubing runs in high-pressure fluid and gas systems. It uses a compression-style fitting connection to seal the open end of a tube without threading or welding. Rated to 5800 psi maximum working pressure, it handles temperatures ranging from -425 degrees F to 1200 degrees F, making it suitable for cryogenic through high-heat service conditions. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial mechanics are the primary installers of this fitting class.

This end cap is used in residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC refrigerant piping, pneumatic control lines, and industrial process systems where a compression-style tube termination is required. Its stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for corrosive media, high-purity applications, and installations requiring extended service life under thermal cycling or pressure variation. It is sold and installed as a single unit.

Key Features

• Maximum working pressure of 5800 psi for demanding high-pressure applications
• Wide service temperature range from -425 degrees F to 1200 degrees F
• 316 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance and durability
• Compression fitting style eliminates the need for threading or welding at termination
• NPT thread standard where applicable
• Lightweight at 0.21 pounds for easy handling in tight spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression tube end cap for use in high-pressure tubing systems requiring a stainless steel termination fitting.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified mechanic familiar with compression fittings. Depressurize and isolate the tubing system completely before removing any existing fittings or installing this end cap. Use appropriate tube preparation tools to ensure a clean, square tube cut for a proper compression seal. Follow applicable codes such as ASME B31.1 or B31.3 for pressure piping systems when determining installation requirements.
