Anderson Metals Corp 700081-08 Brass Compression Cap 1/2 in

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 700081-08 is a 1/2-inch brass compression cap used to terminate an open compression fitting end on a water supply or distribution line. It creates a secure, leak-resistant seal without soldering, making it a practical choice for repairs, system modifications, or capping off unused branch lines. The cap is lead-free compliant and meets the requirements of Public Law 111-380, making it suitable for use in potable water systems where lead-free materials are required by code. Plumbers and pipefitters working on residential and light commercial plumbing installs rely on compression caps like this one for fast, reliable terminations.

This compression cap is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where a 1/2-inch compression connection needs to be permanently or temporarily capped. Common scenarios include capping stub-outs during rough-in, isolating a branch line during a remodel, or sealing off an unused port on a manifold or supply line. No open flame is required, which makes it appropriate for installations in areas where soldering is restricted or impractical. It is sold in bulk packaging with a package quantity of 10 units per pack.

Key Features

• Lead-free compliant per Public Law 111-380 for use in potable water systems
• 1/2-inch compression connection — no soldering required

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit compression cap for 1/2-inch compression fittings used in residential and light commercial potable water plumbing systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters. Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before installing or removing any compression fitting. Compression caps require only hand tools — a properly sized wrench is used to tighten the compression nut to a firm, leak-free seat without over-tightening, which can crack the fitting or deform the ferrule. Work must comply with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC standards for potable water systems.
