Asc 361188402 Forged Steel Threaded Cap 3/8 in 3000 Lb

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 361188402 is a forged steel threaded cap designed to close off the end of a threaded pipe or fitting in high-pressure piping systems. Rated at 3000 lb pressure class and sized for 3/8 inch connections, this cap provides a durable, leak-resistant termination point. Forged steel construction gives it the mechanical strength needed for demanding industrial, commercial, and mechanical piping applications. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting during system assembly, pressure testing, and pipe capping tasks where a reliable seal is required.

This threaded cap is suited for use in high-pressure piping systems where a 3/8 inch female-threaded termination is needed. Typical applications include steam, hydraulic, and process piping systems operating within the 3000 lb pressure class. It is commonly used in industrial facilities, commercial mechanical rooms, and anywhere threaded carbon steel pipe is installed. The 3000 lb pressure class rating makes it appropriate for systems that exceed the pressure limits of standard 150 lb or 300 lb rated fittings.

Key Features

• Forged steel construction provides high strength and resistance to pressure fatigue
• 3000 lb pressure class rating suitable for demanding high-pressure piping systems
• 3/8 inch threaded connection for straightforward installation on standard threaded pipe
• Compact and lightweight at 0.11 pounds for easy handling and inventory
• Threaded end cap design allows removal for future system access if needed

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use threaded cap for 3/8 inch, 3000 lb pressure class forged steel threaded piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Depressurize and isolate the piping system completely before installing or removing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before threading on the cap. Follow applicable codes such as the International Plumbing Code or ASME B16.11 for forged steel fittings when selecting and installing pressure-rated components.
