Bmi 46505 Carbon Press Gas Cap 3/4 Inch

Product Description

The BMI 46505 is a 3/4-inch carbon press gas cap designed to seal open pipe ends in gas distribution systems. This fitting uses a press-connection method, eliminating the need for threading or soldering during installation. It is suited for use in natural gas and similar gas piping applications where a secure, leak-resistant end cap is required. Plumbers and gas fitters install this cap to terminate or pressure-test piping runs. The carbon steel construction provides durability in demanding mechanical and gas service environments.

This cap is used in residential and light commercial gas piping installations where press-fit fittings are specified. It is appropriate for new construction and retrofit work where open pipe ends must be capped during rough-in, system testing, or permanent termination. The press-style connection makes it compatible with standard press tooling used in carbon gas fitting systems.

Key Features

• Press-fit connection eliminates threading and open-flame soldering on gas lines
• Carbon steel construction for strength in gas service applications
• 3/4-inch size fits standard gas piping runs at that diameter
• Designed for reliable end-of-line sealing and pressure testing
• Compatible with press tooling used across carbon press gas fitting systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style press gas fitting for use in 3/4-inch carbon press gas piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter in accordance with applicable local codes and IFGC requirements. Shut off the gas supply and verify zero pressure in the line before installing or removing any fitting. Use the correct press jaw size and tool rated for carbon gas fittings to ensure a proper seal. Inspect the pressed connection visually and verify with a leak-detection solution or pressure test before returning the system to service.
