Asc Engineered Solutions 8700132858 Galvanized Pipe Cap 1-1/2 in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700132858 is a 1-1/2 inch malleable iron galvanized pipe cap designed to terminate threaded pipe ends in plumbing, mechanical, and industrial piping systems. The cap is manufactured to comply with Fed. Spec. WW-P-521F and ANSI B-16.3 dimensional standards, with pipe threads conforming to ANSI B-2.1. Galvanizing meets ASTM A-153 specifications, providing corrosion resistance for wet or exposed environments. The malleable iron construction, certified to ASTM A-197 chemical and physical property standards, offers durability under standard working pressures. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in new construction and retrofit work where a threaded pipe end requires a secure, code-compliant termination.

This cap is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, gas distribution, and mechanical piping applications where galvanized malleable iron fittings are specified. It threads directly onto 1-1/2 inch NPT male pipe ends and is commonly used to cap off branch lines, test ports, or unused outlets during rough-in or system modifications. The galvanized finish makes it a practical choice in damp or corrosive service environments. It is sold individually and requires no special tooling beyond standard pipe wrenches and thread sealant or tape appropriate to the service.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction per ASTM A-197 for reliable mechanical strength
• Hot-dip galvanized per ASTM A-153 for corrosion resistance in wet or outdoor environments
• Dimensions conform to ANSI B-16.3 for interchangeability with standard fittings
• Pipe threads machined to ANSI B-2.1 for consistent NPT thread engagement
• Meets Federal Specification WW-P-521F for standard malleable iron fittings
• Sold as a single unit with no minimum order beyond one piece

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1-1/2 inch NPT threaded pipe systems using standard malleable iron galvanized fittings per ANSI B-16.3.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Depressurize and isolate the piping system before threading on the cap. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before engagement. Tighten with a pipe wrench to achieve proper thread engagement without over-stressing the fitting; consult applicable IPC or IFGC requirements for the specific service.
