Asc Engineered Solutions 8700132353 Black Iron Pipe Cap 1-1/4 in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700132353 is a 1-1/4 inch malleable black iron pipe cap designed to close off the end of a threaded pipe run. Manufactured from malleable iron to ASTM A-197 chemical and physical property standards, this cap provides durable, reliable pipe termination in gas, water, and general-purpose piping systems. The black iron finish is suited for non-galvanized piping applications. Threaded connections conform to ANSI B-2.1 pipe thread standards, ensuring consistent fit with standard NPT fittings. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors use this fitting in both new construction and retrofit work.

This cap is appropriate for residential and commercial piping installations where a 1-1/4 inch threaded pipe end must be sealed or temporarily capped. Common applications include gas distribution piping, steam systems, hydronic heating systems, and industrial process lines. The malleable iron construction tolerates moderate mechanical stress and vibration better than cast iron, making it a practical choice for installations subject to movement or thermal cycling.

Key Features

• 1-1/4 inch threaded malleable black iron construction for standard NPT pipe systems
• Conforms to ANSI B-16.3 dimensional standards and ANSI B-2.1 pipe thread standards
• Meets ASTM A-197 chemical and physical property requirements for malleable iron
• Complies with Federal Specification WW-P-521F for standard malleable iron fittings
• Black iron finish suitable for non-galvanized gas and general-purpose piping
• Sold individually, minimum order quantity of one

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1-1/4 inch NPT threaded pipe systems using standard malleable iron fittings per ANSI B-16.3.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local mechanical and plumbing codes, including IPC and IFGC requirements where gas piping is involved. Shut off all pressure to the pipe system and verify zero pressure before threading on the cap. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before installation to ensure a leak-free joint. Do not overtighten, as malleable iron threads can be damaged by excessive torque.
