The Parker solid end cap sanitary tube fitting is made of type 316L stainless steel, has a tube connector, and is finished according to American Society of Mechanical Engineers bioprocessing equipment (ASME BPE) surface finish code SFF4 for mechanical polishing. This solid end cap covers the outside of a pipe or fitting to close and terminate its end. This fitting is made of 316L stainless steel for strength and greater ease in welding than 304 stainless steel. The lower carbon content of the material minimizes harmful carbide precipitation due to welding, helping to ensure corrosion resistance. The operating temperatures for this fitting range from -425 to 1200 degrees F, and it meets American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) specification A269 for quality assurance.

Pipe and tube fittings are components used for connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping in many different industries. Sanitary fittings are used in the food, beverage, biotech, pharmaceutical, and other sanitary process industries to transport fluids through pipe lines and are available in a range of materials, finishes and shapes. When purchasing fittings, consider the application, as this will affect material type, shape, size, and required durability. Fittings are available threaded or unthreaded, in many shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness).
