Asc Engineered Solutions 8700132601 Galvanized Pipe Cap 3/8 in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700132601 is a 3/8 inch malleable iron galvanized pipe cap designed to terminate threaded pipe ends in plumbing, mechanical, and light industrial piping systems. Constructed from malleable iron with a hot-dip galvanized finish per ASTM A-153, this cap provides corrosion resistance and long service life in exposed or damp environments. It meets the dimensional standards of ANSI B-16.3 and thread standards of ANSI B-2.1, ensuring reliable engagement with standard NPT-threaded pipe. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting wherever a threaded run needs to be capped off cleanly and permanently.

This cap is suited for use in residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC hydronic piping, fire protection rough-in, and general mechanical piping applications. It is appropriate for low-pressure water, air, and similar service where a malleable iron threaded fitting is specified. The galvanized coating makes it a practical choice in utility spaces, crawlspaces, and other environments where bare iron would be at risk of surface corrosion. Sold individually, this fitting is a standard stocked item for service vans and job-site supplies.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded cap for 3/8 inch NPT malleable iron piping systems in residential and commercial mechanical applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC and IFGC code requirements for threaded iron piping. Shut off and depressurize the affected piping system before threading on the cap. Use an appropriate pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape on the male threads before tightening. Do not over-torque malleable iron fittings, as the material can crack under excessive force.
