Asc Engineered Solutions 390030187 Grooved Cap 3 in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 390030187 is a 3-inch grooved painted cap designed to terminate grooved-end piping systems in mechanical, fire protection, and HVAC applications. Manufactured from ductile iron and finished with a painted coating for corrosion resistance, this cap installs directly onto a grooved pipe end using a standard grooved coupling. It weighs 1.09 pounds and is sized for 3-inch pipe. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and fire suppression contractors typically specify this fitting when capping active or future branch connections in pressurized piping systems.

This grooved cap is suited for use in commercial and industrial piping installations where a secure, leak-tight pipe termination is required. Common applications include HVAC hydronic systems, fire sprinkler mains, and general mechanical piping where grooved-end connections are the specified joining method. The painted finish provides a base level of protection appropriate for indoor mechanical room environments and similar service conditions.

Key Features

• Ductile iron construction provides strength and durability in pressurized piping systems
• Painted finish adds corrosion resistance for mechanical room and indoor service environments
• 3-inch grooved end accepts standard grooved couplings for fast, tool-assisted assembly
• Compact cap design terminates piping runs cleanly without welding or threading
• Lightweight at 1.09 pounds for easy single-technician handling during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style grooved fitting for use with standard 3-inch grooved-end piping systems and compatible grooved couplings in mechanical, HVAC, and fire protection installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed pipefitters or plumbers familiar with grooved piping systems. Depressurize and drain the piping system completely before removing any existing fittings or installing the cap. Follow the coupling manufacturer's torque and gasket seating procedures when securing the grooved coupling over the cap. Verify that the pipe groove dimensions conform to the applicable standard before assembly.
