Key specifications

Choosing the right option

Choose the cap by the tube size of the clamp connection it closes. The 1/2 to 3/4" and 1 to 1-1/2" caps each cover two tube sizes, so check the size against your ferrule or tube before ordering. The PL finish is mechanically polished inside and out; the PM finish is electropolished inside.

Mechanical polishing is 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.
