Value Collection SS-TP-FT2 Compression Tube Plug 1/8 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SS-TP-FT2 is a stainless steel compression tube plug designed to seal the end of a 1/8-inch OD tube in instrumentation, fluid control, and process piping systems. Machined from 316 stainless steel to meet ASTM A276 and related standards, it uses a compression-style end connection for a leak-tight, tool-assisted seal without threading into the tube itself. The plug measures 0.4402 inches in overall length and weighs approximately 0.25 pounds. It carries a 5/16-20 UNF thread standard, making it compatible with standard compression fitting configurations. HVAC, plumbing, and industrial technicians use this fitting to dead-end small-bore tubing runs during system service, pressure testing, or permanent line termination.

This compression tube plug is suited for residential and commercial applications where small-diameter stainless steel tubing requires a reliable end seal. Typical install scenarios include instrument tubing in refrigeration and HVAC systems, hydraulic and pneumatic control lines, and process fluid systems where corrosion resistance and pressure integrity are required. The 316 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for mildly corrosive environments and elevated-temperature service conditions common in industrial and mechanical systems.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction meets ASTM A182, A213, A269, A276, A479, and DIN EN10122-5 standards
• Compression end connection for tool-assisted, leak-tight tube termination without tube threading
• 1/8-inch tube OD fits standard small-bore instrumentation and process tubing
• 5/16-20 UNF thread standard for compatibility with matched compression fitting systems
• Compact 0.4402-inch overall length suits tight installation spaces
• Corrosion-resistant alloy grade suitable for wet, chemical-adjacent, and high-temperature environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression plug for 1/8-inch OD tubing systems using standard compression fittings. The Swagelok equivalent part number listed in the specification data is SS-200-P.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified mechanical technician. Before installing or removing any compression fitting, depressurize and isolate the tubing system completely. Use appropriately sized wrenches to avoid deforming the fitting body or tube ferrule. Verify tube end is cut square, deburred, and fully seated before tightening. Follow applicable codes including ASME B31.1 or B31.3 for process piping as relevant to the installation.
