Swagelok SS-200-C 316 Stainless Steel Cap for 1/8″ Od Tubing

Description

Product Overview

The Swagelok SS-200-C 316 stainless steel cap is a precision‑engineered component designed to terminate 1/8″ outer‑diameter tubing with a leak‑free seal. Constructed from 316 grade stainless steel, the cap offers exceptional corrosion resistance, making it suitable for a wide range of chemical, pharmaceutical, and water‑based applications. The cap features a compression fitting design that utilizes a threaded body and a sealing ferrule to create a uniform pressure distribution around the tubing, ensuring a consistent seal even under fluctuating pressure conditions. With a compact profile and a weight of just one pound, the cap is easy to handle and install, reducing labor time and minimizing the risk of damage during assembly. The product carries the Swagelok model number 2713E15EA and has been in production since December 2016, reflecting a proven track record of reliability and performance in industrial settings. Its design complies with industry standards for compression fittings, providing confidence to engineers and technicians who demand precision and durability.

Usage

Designed for laboratory and industrial environments, this cap is ideal for securing tubing in fluid delivery systems, gas lines, and water treatment installations. It excels in applications where chemical resistance is paramount, such as in corrosive acid handling, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and high‑purity water circuits. The cap can be used in both static and dynamic systems, handling pressures typical of hydraulic and pneumatic circuits without compromising the seal integrity. Installation requires only a standard wrench to tighten the cap onto the tubing, after which the ferrule compresses the tubing to create a hermetic seal. This simplicity makes it a preferred choice for field technicians who need quick, reliable connections without the need for specialized tools. The cap’s compatibility with 1/8″ OD tubing means it integrates seamlessly with a broad range of Swagelok tubing sizes, allowing for flexible system design and easy scalability.

FAQ

What tubing sizes are compatible with the SS-200-C cap?

The cap is specifically sized for 1/8″ outer‑diameter tubing. It will not fit larger or smaller tubing without compromising the seal integrity.

Can the cap be used in high‑pressure applications?

Yes. The compression fitting design and 316 stainless steel material allow the cap to operate safely within the pressure ranges typical for hydraulic and pneumatic systems, provided the system is designed according to Swagelok specifications.

Is the cap suitable for corrosive chemicals?

Absolutely. The 316 stainless steel alloy offers superior resistance to a wide variety of corrosive chemicals, making the cap ideal for use in chemical processing, pharmaceutical, and water treatment applications.

How do I install the cap correctly?

First, cut the tubing cleanly and deburr the end. Insert the tubing into the cap until it seats against the ferrule. Using a wrench, tighten the cap to the recommended torque, allowing the ferrule to compress the tubing and form a leak‑free seal. Refer to Swagelok installation guidelines for detailed torque values.

What warranty or support does Swagelok provide?
