It is designed to close the end of a threaded pipe in plumbing, gas distribution, and mechanical piping systems. Manufactured to ASTM A-197 malleable iron standards and dimensioned to ASME B16.3, this cap meets the pressure and strength requirements expected in demanding service environments. Weighing 4.71 pounds, it is suited for installations where a robust, code-compliant pipe termination is required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in both new construction and retrofit applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis cap is used in residential and commercial plumbing and gas piping systems where a threaded pipe end must be permanently or temporarily sealed. The extra-heavy (XH) rating makes it appropriate for higher-pressure service runs. The black finish is standard for gas and mechanical piping applications. It installs on any standard NPT-threaded pipe end conforming to ASME B1.20.1 thread specifications, making it broadly compatible across common piping configurations in the plumbing and mechanical trades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExtra-heavy (XH) strength rating for higher-pressure service applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMalleable iron construction per ASTM A-197 for durability and impact resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDimensioned and pressure rated to ASME B16.3 standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFemale pipe thread (FPT) connection per ASME B1.20.1 for standard NPT compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack finish standard for gas and mechanical piping systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUL and FM listed (UL FM: Yes) for use in approved fire protection and gas piping installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation cap for 3-inch NPT-threaded pipe ends in plumbing, gas, and mechanical piping systems conforming to ASME B16.3 and ASME B1.20.1 standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Plumbing Code (IPC), and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) where applicable. Shut off all system pressure and purge any gas or fluid from the line before fitting installation. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape appropriate for the service medium to the male threads before engaging the cap. Do not use pipe wrenches on the cap body in a way that could crack or deform the fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrength Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: XH (Extra Heavy)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: FPT (Female Pipe Thread)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Malleable Iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Specification\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASTM A-197\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimension Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASME B16.3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Specification\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASME B1.20.1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Rating Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASME B16.3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUL FM Listed\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.71 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDepartment\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plumbing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Group\u003c\/strong\u003e: Pipe Fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 318901428\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51267991404850,"sku":"0318901428","price":645.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/308912605.png?v=1780696303","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/asc-engineered-solutions-318901428-iron-pipe-cap-3-inch-xh","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
