Asc 818900698 Black Malleable Iron Pipe Cap 1-1/2 in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 818900698 is a black malleable iron pipe cap sized at 1-1/2 inches, designed to close off the end of a threaded pipe run. Malleable iron construction gives this cap the ductility and strength needed to handle mechanical stress without cracking, making it suitable for low-pressure gas, water, air, and steam piping systems. The black coating provides corrosion resistance for dry or mildly humid environments. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this cap when capping unused branch outlets, testing pipe systems, or completing a pipe assembly that requires a permanent or semi-permanent termination point.

This 1-1/2-inch pipe cap fits standard NPT-threaded pipe and is commonly used in residential and light commercial plumbing, gas distribution, compressed air, and hydronic heating applications. It is an import fitting suited for general-purpose installations where code-compliant malleable iron fittings are specified. Contractors use this cap during rough-in stages to pressure-test lines before final connection or to permanently seal unused ports on distribution manifolds.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction for ductility and resistance to mechanical stress
• Black coating for corrosion resistance in dry and low-moisture environments
• 1-1/2-inch NPT threaded end for standard pipe connections
• Closes off threaded pipe ends for pressure testing or permanent termination
• Lightweight at 0.55 pounds for easy handling during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement fitting for standard 1-1/2-inch NPT threaded pipe systems in residential and commercial plumbing, gas, compressed air, and hydronic heating applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system completely before threading on the cap. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe compound to the male threads before hand-tightening and finishing with a pipe wrench. Do not overtighten malleable iron fittings, as this can crack the fitting or damage the threads.
