Anderson Metals Corp 738108-16 Red Brass Pipe Cap 1 in

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 738108-16 is a 1-inch red brass pipe cap designed to terminate or seal the end of a threaded pipe run. Red brass construction provides reliable corrosion resistance in both water and gas distribution systems. This cap is lead free compliant and meets the requirements of Public Law 111-380, making it suitable for potable water applications where low-lead materials are mandated. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting during rough-in work, pressure testing, and when capping off unused branch lines.

This pipe cap is used in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. It is appropriate for domestic water supply lines, hydronic heating systems, and other fluid-handling applications where a threaded end closure is required. The 1-inch size fits standard NPT-threaded pipe of the same nominal diameter. Sold in bulk packs of 5 units, making it practical for service vans and job site inventory.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before threading the cap onto the pipe. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before seating the cap. Do not overtighten, as red brass fittings can crack under excessive torque.
