Vne EG16A-6L1.5 Sanitary End Cap 1-1/2 in Clamp Ss 316

Product Description

The VNE EG16A-6L1.5 is a sanitary stainless steel pipe end cap designed for hygienic process piping applications. Manufactured from 316/316L stainless steel, this end cap accepts a 1-1/2 inch tube OD and connects via a standard sanitary clamp fitting. The smooth interior finish and crevice-minimizing design are built to meet the strict cleanability standards required in food processing, dairy, beverage, and pharmaceutical environments. Plumbers and pipefitters working in sanitary process systems install this fitting to terminate a line cleanly while maintaining system integrity and compliance with applicable hygienic standards.

This end cap is suited for use in residential dairy, food and beverage production, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical piping systems where hygienic connections are mandatory. The clamp-style end connection allows for quick disassembly during routine cleaning and inspection cycles. Its compact, lightweight construction - weighing 0.18 pounds - makes it practical for both new installations and retrofit work on existing sanitary process lines requiring a compliant tube-end termination.

Key Features

• 316/316L stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in aggressive wash-down and chemical environments
• 1-1/2 inch tube OD clamp connection for fast, tool-minimized assembly and disassembly
• Smooth interior profile supports thorough cleaning and drainage in CIP and SIP systems
• Meets 3A Certified, ASME, FISA, ISPE, and WCMA standards for sanitary process applications
• Lightweight at 0.18 pounds, reducing load on smaller-diameter process lines

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style sanitary fitting for 1-1/2 inch tube OD clamp-end process piping systems that require compliance with 3A, ASME, FISA, ISPE, or WCMA sanitary standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed pipefitters or plumbers qualified in sanitary process systems. Depressurize and drain the line completely before removing or installing any end cap. Inspect the clamp gasket for wear or damage and replace if necessary before reassembling the clamp ferrule to the specified torque per the clamp manufacturer's instructions. Follow applicable ASME and facility-specific hygienic piping codes when integrating this fitting into a regulated process line.
