Value Collection SS-TC-FT4 Compression Tube End Cap

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SS-TC-FT4 is a stainless steel compression tube end cap designed to seal the open end of a 1/4-inch OD tube in instrumentation, fluid handling, and process piping systems. Machined from 316 stainless steel to material grade ASTM A276 and ASTM A479, this fitting offers strong corrosion resistance in wet, chemical, or high-purity environments. The compression-style end connection creates a leak-tight seal without welding or soldering. Overall length is 0.92 inches. Thread size is 7/16-20 UNF. Installation and removal require only standard hand tools, making it practical for field service or bench assembly work.

This end cap is suited for use in pneumatic instrumentation lines, hydraulic tubing runs, analytical equipment, and process control systems where a clean, pressure-rated tube termination is required. It is commonly installed by instrumentation technicians, plumbers, and pipefitters working on stainless steel compression tube assemblies in both light industrial and heavy process environments. Typical applications include capping off unused ports, isolating sections of tubing during maintenance, or permanently terminating dead-end lines.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in harsh or wet environments
• Compression end connection — no soldering, brazing, or welding required
• 7/16-20 UNF thread size for secure, repeatable engagement
• Compact overall length of 0.92 inches for tight-space installations
• Meets multiple ASTM and DIN material and dimensional standards
• Compatible with standard 1/4-inch OD compression tube fittings

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 1/4-inch OD compression tube fitting systems. This part is listed with Swagelok Part Number SS-400-C, indicating dimensional and functional equivalence to that reference fitting standard.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified instrumentation technician, plumber, or pipefitter familiar with compression tube fitting assembly. Depressurize and isolate the tubing system completely before removing or installing any end cap. Ensure tube ends are cleanly cut, deburred, and free of contamination before seating the ferrule. Follow the fitting manufacturer's make-up instructions for proper ferrule engagement — do not over-tighten, as this can deform the ferrule or tube wall.
