Vne EG16A2.5 Sanitary End Cap 2.5 in Clamp Ss 304

Product Description

The VNE EG16A2.5 is a sanitary stainless steel pipe end cap designed to terminate 2.5-inch tube OD lines in hygienic piping systems. Constructed from Grade 304 stainless steel, this end cap uses a clamp-style connection for tool-assisted installation and removal, supporting frequent disassembly in clean-in-place (CIP) environments. At 0.44 pounds, the fitting is lightweight without sacrificing the corrosion resistance required in food, beverage, dairy, and pharmaceutical process lines. It meets multiple industry standards, including 3A, ASME, FISA, ISPE, and WCMA, making it suitable for regulated processing applications where material traceability and surface finish compliance are mandatory.

This end cap is used to cap off the terminal end of a 2.5-inch OD sanitary tube in process piping systems found in food and beverage production, dairy processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and biotech facilities. The clamp connection accepts standard tri-clamp ferrules, allowing the cap to be removed during system cleaning or inspection without special tooling. It is installed by licensed pipefitters, sanitary process piping contractors, or maintenance technicians working within regulated processing environments.

Compatibility

Designed for use with 2.5-inch OD sanitary tubing and standard tri-clamp ferrule assemblies in hygienic process piping systems compliant with 3A, ASME, FISA, ISPE, and WCMA standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pipefitter or sanitary process piping technician familiar with hygienic fitting standards. Depressurize and drain the line completely before removing or installing any end cap. Inspect the gasket seating surface and clamp hardware for damage before assembly. Follow applicable ASME and 3A sanitary standards for torque and surface finish requirements during installation.
