Asc Engineered Solutions 8700132759 Galvanized Pipe Cap 1 in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700132759 is a 1-inch malleable iron galvanized pipe cap designed to close off the end of a threaded pipe run. Constructed from malleable iron with a hot-dip galvanized finish per ASTM A-153, this cap resists corrosion in wet and exposed installations. It meets ANSI B-16.3 dimensional standards and ANSI B-2.1 pipe thread specifications, making it a code-compliant choice for plumbing, fire protection, and mechanical piping systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters rely on this fitting for both temporary and permanent pipe terminations.

This cap is suited for residential and commercial piping installations where a threaded pipe end must be sealed. Common applications include capping unused branch outlets, pressure testing pipe runs, and terminating gas, water, or steam lines. The galvanized coating provides added protection in outdoor, underground, or high-moisture environments where bare iron fittings would be prone to rust and early failure.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction meets ASTM A-197 chemical and physical property requirements
• Hot-dip galvanized finish compliant with ASTM A-153 for corrosion resistance
• Dimensional compliance with ANSI B-16.3 for consistent fitment across standard pipe schedules
• ANSI B-2.1 tapered pipe threads for a secure, leak-resistant connection
• Meets Federal Specification WW-P-521F for standard malleable iron fittings
• Sold individually, making it practical for single-fitting replacements or small jobs

Compatibility

Designed as a standard ANSI B-16.3 malleable iron threaded pipe cap for use with 1-inch NPT threaded pipe in residential and commercial gas, water, and mechanical piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC or IFGC requirements. Always depressurize and isolate the pipe section before installing or removing any threaded fitting. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape appropriate for the service medium before threading the cap onto the pipe. Hand-tighten first, then use a pipe wrench to bring the fitting to proper engagement without over-tightening, which can crack malleable iron fittings.
