Asc Engineered Solutions 818900771 Malleable Iron Cap 2.5 in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 818900771 is a black malleable iron pipe cap designed to close off the end of a threaded pipe run. This fitting accepts a male-threaded pipe end and provides a secure, sealed termination point. The black coating gives it a consistent finish suited for gas piping, industrial plumbing, and similar black iron pipe systems. At 1.48 pounds, it is a solid, durable fitting appropriate for use by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors working on threaded iron pipe installations.

This cap is used in residential and commercial applications wherever a threaded pipe end must be closed. Typical scenarios include capping unused branch outlets, pressure-testing isolation points, and permanent terminations on black iron gas supply lines. The 2.5-inch size suits larger-diameter pipe runs common in commercial gas systems, main distribution headers, and industrial piping layouts. It is an imported fitting suitable for standard threaded pipe work.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction provides strength and resistance to cracking under load or vibration
• Black coating finish consistent with standard black iron pipe systems
• 2.5-inch fitting size for larger-diameter threaded pipe applications
• Female threaded cap design seals male-threaded pipe ends securely
• Weighs 1.48 pounds — substantial, full-body fitting construction

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 2.5-inch male-threaded black iron pipe systems in plumbing and gas piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code or International Plumbing Code as applicable. Depressurize and isolate the pipe system completely before threading the cap onto the pipe end. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before making up the threaded joint. Do not over-tighten using power tools, as this can crack malleable iron fittings.
