Asc Engineered Solutions 318901410 Malleable Iron Pipe Cap

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 318901410 is a 2.5-inch extra-heavy black malleable iron pipe cap designed to terminate threaded pipe ends in high-pressure or high-demand piping systems. Manufactured domestically from malleable iron with a black coating, this cap provides a durable, corrosion-resistant closure for pipe runs in gas, steam, and industrial piping applications. At 3.32 pounds, the fitting reflects the heavier wall construction of the extra-heavy (XH) pressure class. Installation requires only a pipe wrench and compatible threaded male pipe end. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for this class of fitting.

This cap is suited for use in commercial and industrial piping systems where standard-weight fittings are insufficient for the operating pressure or mechanical load. The extra-heavy designation makes it appropriate for steam distribution, high-pressure gas lines, and similar demanding service environments. It is also used in residential and light commercial gas piping applications where code or system design specifies XH-class fittings. The black coating is standard for gas service identification in accordance with common piping conventions.

Key Features

• Extra-heavy (XH) pressure class for demanding service conditions
• Malleable iron construction for strength and resistance to mechanical stress
• Black coating suitable for gas service identification
• 2.5-inch threaded fitting size for standard NPT pipe ends
• Domestically manufactured

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 2.5-inch threaded pipe systems requiring an extra-heavy malleable iron cap closure.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the IFGC or ASME B16.3. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system completely before installing or replacing any threaded cap. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium before threading the cap onto the pipe end. Do not over-torque, as malleable iron fittings can crack under excessive force.
