Value Collection SS-TC-FT8 Compression Tube End Cap

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SS-TC-FT8 is a stainless steel compression tube end cap designed to terminate or seal the open end of a 1/2-inch OD tube in high-integrity fluid and gas systems. Machined from 316 stainless steel to meet ASTM A182, ASTM A276, and ASTM A479 standards, this fitting delivers strong corrosion resistance in demanding process, instrumentation, and mechanical applications. The compression-style end connection eliminates the need for threading or welding, making installation fast and repeatable. Overall length is 1.15 inches. Thread size is 3/4-20 UNF. This fitting is specified by plumbers, pipefitters, instrumentation technicians, and industrial maintenance professionals wherever a clean, leak-resistant tube termination is required.

This end cap is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, process instrumentation lines, pneumatic tubing, hydraulic tubing, and general industrial fluid handling where stainless steel material grade 316 is required. Its compression fitting design makes it appropriate for both high-purity and corrosive-environment installations. Compatible across a wide range of tube systems that accept standard compression-style fittings sized for 1/2-inch OD tubing. The Swagelok equivalent reference part number is SS-810-C, which may assist cross-referencing during specification and procurement.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction meets ASTM A182, ASTM A213, ASTM A269, ASTM A276, ASTM A479, DIN EN10122-5, and DIN EN10272 standards
• Compression end connection for tool-assisted, no-weld installation on 1/2-inch OD tubing
• 3/4-20 UNF thread size for secure, leak-resistant seating
• Compact overall length of 1.15 inches suits tight-clearance installations
• Corrosion-resistant 316 grade material appropriate for aggressive media and outdoor or marine environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression tube end cap for systems using 1/2-inch OD tubing. Cross-references to Swagelok part number SS-810-C for specification and sourcing purposes.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or instrumentation technicians following applicable codes such as ASME B31.1, B31.3, or IPC as required by the application. Depressurize and isolate the tubing system fully before removing existing fittings or installing this end cap. Use an appropriate tube cutter and deburring tool to prepare the tube end squarely before seating the compression fitting. Do not over-torque the compression nut, as deformation of the ferrule can compromise the seal.
