Asc Engineered Solutions 8700132106 Black Iron Pipe Cap 1/4 in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700132106 is a 1/4 inch malleable black iron pipe cap used to close off the end of a threaded pipe run. Manufactured from malleable iron with a black finish, this cap meets Federal Specification WW-P-521F and is dimensioned to ANSI B-16.3 standards with pipe threads conforming to ANSI B-2.1. It is suited for gas, air, and general plumbing distribution systems in both residential and light commercial applications. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and gas fitters install this type of fitting when capping dead-end runs or temporarily sealing test ports.

This cap is used in threaded malleable iron piping systems where a durable, pressure-rated end closure is required. Common applications include capping branch tees on gas distribution lines, sealing unused outlets on manifolds, and closing off test points on air or water systems. The malleable iron construction allows the fitting to handle the stress of wrench-tightened assembly without cracking, making it a reliable choice for service and maintenance work in mechanical rooms and in-wall or exposed piping installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or gas fitters following applicable IFGC and IPC requirements. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before tightening. Use a pipe wrench sized for the fitting and avoid over-tightening, which can crack fittings or damage threads.
