Anderson Metals 756108-02 Brass End Cap 1/8-27 Fnpt

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 756108-02 is a lead-free brass pipe end cap with a 1/8-27 FNPT female thread connection. It is used to terminate an open pipe end, blocking flow and sealing the line against pressure loss or contamination. This fitting is rated to 1000 psi maximum working pressure, making it suitable for a range of low- to medium-pressure plumbing, fuel, and gas distribution systems. The brass construction meets lead-free compliance requirements for contact with potable water. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of fitting during system commissioning, testing, and maintenance.

This end cap is appropriate for residential and light commercial piping applications. It is compatible with systems carrying potable water, grease, fuels, and LP and natural gas. The 1/8-27 thread size makes it a common fit for small-diameter pipe terminations found in gas supply lines, compressed air headers, hydraulic sub-circuits, and plumbing rough-in work where a threaded plug or cap is needed to close an unused port or branch.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code or International Plumbing Code where relevant. Shut off and depressurize the system fully before installing or removing any threaded end cap. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before engagement. Do not overtighten, as brass fittings can crack under excessive torque.
