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 PM finish is electropolished inside; the PL finish is mechanically polished inside and out.

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.
