Description
Our 1 to 1 1/2 inch clamp end cap, is a sanitary, 304 stainless steel cap designed to seal inactive process lines, preventing contamination, leakage, or the ingress of foreign particles.
The end cap has a tri-clamp connection on one side, allowing it to be securely attached to a pipe or system using a clamp, and a cap on the other to seal the system. Our tri-clamp end cap surfaces are smooth to prevent the accumulation of contaminants.
We offer a variety of end cap sizes and lengths in 304 or 316L stainless steel.
Tri-clamp end caps are often called clamp end caps or tri-clover end caps.
Uses:
Dairy
Meat
Beverage
Wine
Beer
Cosmetics
Reverse osmosis systems
Essential oils
Juice
Aquaponics
And more

304 vs. 316L Stainless Steel
304 and 316L stainless steels appear visually identical, but have distinct performance characteristics.
304 stainless steel contains approximately 18% chromium and 8% nickel, making it suitable for kitchen applications and indoor environments. It performs well under normal conditions but becomes vulnerable to corrosion when exposed to salt or harsh chemicals. This makes it the more economical option for standard uses where corrosion resistance is not a primary concern.
316L stainless steel contains 2-3% molybdenum in addition to chromium and nickel, providing superior corrosion resistance, especially against saltwater and chemicals. Furthermore, 316L has a lower carbon content than 316, increasing corrosion resistance and making it ideal for welding. While it commands a higher price point than 304, it is recommended for outdoor marine environments and food processing applications involving salt.
304 is useful for some standard applications, but for the highest level of durability and harsh environments or saltwater exposure, the additional investment in 316L stainless steel is justified for long-term success.
