Dixon prints the finish figures without a unit on its product pages. Its BPE surface finish table lists them as Ra maximum in micrometres (um), and the 2024 Dixon catalogue prints the same finishes as 32 Ra, 20 Ra and 15 Ra. Dixon describes mechanical polishing as smoothing the surface with tools and progressively finer abrasives, and electropolishing as an electrochemical process that removes material and leaves a smoother, mirror-like surface (all manufacturer-stated).

A and B are the dimension letters in Dixon's Australian catalogue drawing, in millimetres. Dixon prints the tube OD as 12.7 mm for the 1/2 to 3/4 in cap and 38.1 mm for the 1 to 1-1/2 in cap, so tube OD is not repeated in this table.
Selecting the right option
Choose the cap by the tube size of the clamp connection it closes. The 1/2 to 3/4 in and 1 to 1-1/2 in caps each cover two tube sizes, so check the size against your ferrule or tube before ordering. You also need a clamp and gasket: the table under Matching clamp and gasket shows what Dixon lists for each size. The PL finish is mechanically polished inside and out; the PM finish is electropolished inside.
