Bmi Usa 20508 Extra Heavy Malleable Iron Pipe Cap 1-1/2 in

Product Description

The BMI USA 20508 is an extra heavy (XH) malleable iron pipe cap rated for Class 300 service. Pipe caps are threaded fittings used to close off the end of a pipe, isolating a line segment or capping unused outlets in a piping system. This cap is finished in black and constructed from extra heavy malleable iron for durability in demanding applications. It is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on gas, steam, or industrial process piping where a robust, pressure-rated end closure is required.

This pipe cap is suited for use in commercial and industrial piping installations where Class 300 pressure ratings and extra heavy wall construction are specified. Typical applications include capping branch lines on gas distribution systems, steam piping, and high-pressure fluid systems. The black finish is standard for gas service fittings and is consistent with common trade conventions for identifying non-potable service lines.

• Extra heavy (XH) wall construction for high-pressure and demanding service environments
• Class 300 pressure rating suitable for steam, gas, and industrial process lines

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable mechanical and plumbing codes, including the IPC and IFGC where relevant. Shut off and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded pipe fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or pipe thread compound rated for the intended service medium before threading the cap onto the pipe. Do not overtighten; engage threads fully and verify a leak-free seal before returning the system to service.
