Asc Engineered Solutions 8700132551 Pipe Cap 1/4 in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700132551 is a 1/4 inch malleable iron galvanized pipe cap designed to terminate threaded pipe ends in plumbing, mechanical, and light industrial piping systems. Manufactured from malleable iron with a hot-dip galvanized finish per ASTM A-153, this cap resists corrosion in wet and exposed environments. It conforms to ANSI B-16.3 dimensional standards and ANSI B-2.1 pipe thread specifications, ensuring reliable make-up with standard NPT-threaded pipe. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting during system assembly, pressure testing, and permanent pipe terminations.

This cap is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and mechanical piping applications where a threaded pipe end requires a secure, leak-resistant closure. The galvanized finish makes it appropriate for installations exposed to moisture or moderate corrosive conditions. It ships in a minimum quantity of 8 units per order, making it practical for stocking service vehicles or supply rooms handling routine pipe work.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and applicable local codes. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before making up the joint. Hand-tighten first, then wrench-tighten to avoid over-stressing the fitting body.
