Value Collection SS-TP-FT3 Compression Tube Plug 3/16 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SS-TP-FT3 is a stainless steel compression tube plug designed to seal the end of a 3/16-inch OD tube in instrumentation, pneumatic, or fluid-handling systems. Manufactured from 316-grade stainless steel, this plug meets multiple ASTM and DIN material standards, making it suitable for corrosive or high-purity environments. The compression end connection provides a reliable, leak-resistant seal without welding or brazing. At 0.5 inches in overall length and weighing 0.25 pounds, this compact fitting is installed by pipefitters, instrumentation technicians, and HVAC/R service professionals wherever a tube line must be capped or pressure-tested.

This compression tube plug is used in residential and commercial applications requiring a secure end-seal on 3/16-inch OD tubing. Common install scenarios include capping unused ports on manifolds, isolating instrument tubing during maintenance, and pressure-testing segments of a fluid or pneumatic circuit. The 3/8-20 UNF thread and compression end connection are compatible with standard tube fitting systems that accept 3/16-inch OD tubing. The Swagelok equivalent reference is SS-300-P.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet, chemical, and high-purity service environments
• Compression end connection seals 3/16-inch OD tubing without welding or brazing
• 3/8-20 UNF thread standard for broad compatibility with common tube fitting bodies
• Meets ASTM A182, A213, A269, A276, A479 and DIN EN10122-5, DIN EN10272 material standards
• Compact 0.5-inch overall length for use in tight spaces and confined instrument panels

Compatibility

Designed for use with compression tube fitting systems accepting 3/16-inch OD tubing and a 3/8-20 UNF thread. The Swagelok equivalent part number is SS-300-P.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a qualified pipefitter or instrumentation technician. Depressurize and isolate the tube line fully before removing any existing fittings or installing this plug. Hand-tighten the compression nut first, then advance with a wrench per standard compression fitting practice for the tubing material in use. Follow applicable system pressure ratings and relevant codes such as ASME B31.1 or B31.3 for the piping system involved.
