Asc Engineered Solutions 8700132254 Black Iron Cap 3/4 in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700132254 is a 3/4-inch malleable black iron pipe cap used to terminate the end of a threaded pipe run in gas, air, or water piping systems. Manufactured to ANSI B-16.3 dimensional standards and ANSI B-2.1 pipe thread specifications, this cap delivers a secure, leak-resistant closure on standard NPT-threaded pipe. The malleable iron construction meets ASTM A-197 chemical and physical property requirements, making it suitable for demanding mechanical and plumbing applications. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install these caps during system pressure testing, pipe modifications, or permanent line closures.

This fitting is used in residential and commercial piping installations where a threaded pipe end requires a clean, permanent termination. Typical applications include capping unused branch outlets, isolating sections of gas distribution piping, sealing air supply lines, and blanking off test ports. The black iron finish is standard for gas piping systems, and the malleable iron body tolerates the mechanical stress of pipe wrenching without cracking under load.

Key Features

• 3/4-inch NPT threaded fitting for standard pipe connections
• Malleable iron construction per ASTM A-197 for toughness and wrenching durability
• Dimensional compliance with ANSI B-16.3 for consistent fit across standard fittings
• Thread profile meets ANSI B-2.1 for reliable sealing on NPT-threaded pipe
• Black iron finish suitable for gas distribution and general piping use
• Sold individually; lightweight at 0.22 pounds

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT-threaded malleable iron cap compatible with 3/4-inch Schedule 40 black iron or galvanized pipe systems conforming to ANSI B-16.3 fitting dimensions.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable code requirements, including IFGC guidelines for gas piping. Shut off and depressurize the piping system before installing or removing any threaded cap. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before making up the joint. Use a properly sized pipe wrench to tighten the cap; avoid over-tightening, which can crack fittings or damage threads.
