Asc Engineered Solutions 8700132155 Black Iron Cap 3/8 in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700132155 is a 3/8 inch malleable black iron pipe cap used to terminate the end of a threaded pipe run. Made from malleable iron, this cap provides a reliable, pressure-rated closure on black iron piping systems commonly found in gas supply, compressed air, and general industrial plumbing applications. It meets Federal Specification WW-P-521F and conforms to ANSI B16.3 for dimensions and ANSI B2.1 for pipe threads, ensuring consistent thread engagement and leak-free seating when properly installed. Plumbers, pipefitters, and gas service technicians reach for this fitting when capping off unused branch lines or closing out a system during pressure testing.

This cap is suited for residential and light commercial piping installations where black iron fittings are the standard of practice. Typical applications include capping unused outlets on gas manifolds, terminating compressed air headers, and closing branch tees during phased installations. The fitting sells individually and carries a minimum order quantity of 6 units, making it practical for service vans and job-site parts inventory alike.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction meets ASTM A-197 chemical and physical property requirements
• Threaded to ANSI B2.1 standard for consistent fit on NPT pipe ends
• Dimensions conform to ANSI B16.3 for interchangeability with standard malleable fittings
• Federal Specification WW-P-521F compliant for use in federally regulated applications
• Black iron finish suitable for gas and compressed air service
• Lightweight at 0.06 pounds, minimizing added load on pipe runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with 3/8 inch NPT threaded black iron pipe systems in gas, compressed air, and general industrial plumbing applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or gas service technician in accordance with applicable local codes and IFGC or IPC requirements. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system completely before fitting installation or removal. Apply an appropriate pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before threading the cap onto the pipe end. Hand-tighten first, then use a pipe wrench to bring the fitting to a snug, leak-free engagement without over-torquing the malleable iron threads.
