Bmi Usa 20511 Malleable Iron Pipe Cap Extra Heavy 3 Inch

Product Description

The BMI USA 20511 is an extra heavy malleable iron pipe cap with a black finish, designed to close off the end of a threaded pipe in plumbing, gas, and industrial piping systems. Pipe caps of this grade are used where standard-weight fittings are not adequate and greater wall thickness and durability are required. The malleable iron construction provides the toughness needed for demanding service conditions. At 3.98 pounds, this is a solid, full-weight fitting suited for professional installation in commercial and industrial applications.

This pipe cap is intended for use in threaded pipe systems where a secure, pressure-rated end closure is required. It is appropriate for plumbing, gas distribution, steam, and general industrial piping applications. The extra heavy designation indicates a heavier wall section than standard or heavy fittings, making it a common choice for higher-pressure or code-specified installations in commercial and industrial settings. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installing trade for fittings of this type.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable plumbing and mechanical codes such as the IPC or IFGC. Depressurize and isolate the pipe system completely before installing or removing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before threading on the cap. Do not overtighten, as malleable iron fittings can crack under excessive torque.
