Anderson Metals 756108-06 Pipe End Cap 3/8-18 Fnpt

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 756108-06 is a threaded pipe end cap designed to seal the open end of a pipe run in plumbing, gas, and fluid distribution systems. It accepts a 3/8-18 female NPT (FNPT) connection and is rated for up to 1,000 psi working pressure. The cap is lead free, making it suitable for potable water applications as well as lines carrying grease, fuels, LP gas, and natural gas. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting during system testing, system shutoff, or wherever a branch needs to be capped and isolated.

This end cap fits residential and light commercial piping systems where a 3/8-18 FNPT terminal closure is required. Typical applications include potable water supply lines, fuel gas distribution, LP gas branch lines, grease lines, and hydraulic or pneumatic test setups operating within the 1,000 psi pressure rating. The small profile and standard thread form make it a common service and maintenance item kept on the truck for shutoff and pressure-test work.

• 1,000 psi maximum working pressure for demanding fluid and gas service
• 3/8-18 FNPT female thread for standard tapered pipe thread connections

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC and IFGC code requirements for the service type. Shut off system pressure and bleed the line before removing or installing any fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male pipe threads before threading on the cap — do not apply sealant to the female cap threads. Verify the installed assembly holds pressure with a system pressure test before returning the line to service.
