Asc Engineered Solutions 8700132452 Black Iron Cap 2 in

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 8700132452 is a 2-inch malleable black iron pipe cap used to close the end of a threaded pipe run. Manufactured to ANSI B-16.3 dimensional standards and ASTM A-197 chemical and physical property requirements, this cap delivers consistent thread engagement and reliable sealing in ferrous piping systems. The malleable iron construction allows the fitting to withstand mechanical stress without cracking, making it suitable for use in gas, steam, water, and air distribution systems. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting during new construction and retrofit work.

This cap is appropriate for residential and commercial piping applications where a threaded pipe terminal needs to be capped off permanently or temporarily. Common use cases include dead-end gas supply lines, pressure test setups, and decommissioned branch lines. The 2-inch size fits standard NPT-threaded pipe and is sold individually, making it practical for single-fitting replacements or small-quantity jobs.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction resists cracking under mechanical stress and vibration
• Threaded to ANSI B-2.1 pipe thread standards for consistent NPT fit
• Meets ANSI B-16.3 dimensional specifications for standard malleable iron fittings
• Conforms to ASTM A-197 chemical and physical property requirements
• Black iron finish suitable for gas and steam service
• Sold individually with a minimum order quantity of one

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard 2-inch NPT threaded ferrous pipe systems in plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical 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 where relevant. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system completely before removing or installing any threaded cap. Apply an appropriate pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium before threading the cap onto the pipe. Do not overtighten with power tools, as this can damage the threads or crack the fitting body.
