Carrhill SCAP112 Socket Fusion Gas Mdpe Cap 1.5 in

Product Description

The CARRHILL SCAP112 is a 1.5-inch socket fusion cap designed for medium-density polyethylene (MDPE) gas distribution piping systems. This yellow cap terminates an open pipe end using a heat-fusion joining method, creating a permanent, leak-resistant seal without mechanical fasteners or adhesives. It is manufactured for use in buried or above-grade gas service applications where code-compliant MDPE fittings are required. The yellow color indicates gas-service designation, distinguishing it from water or other utility MDPE products. Installation is performed by qualified gas utility or plumbing contractors familiar with socket fusion procedures.

The SCAP112 is suited for residential and light commercial gas distribution systems using 1.5-inch MDPE pipe. Socket fusion caps of this type are commonly installed at pipe terminations during pressure testing, system capping, or decommissioning of a gas service branch. The fitting is appropriate for direct-burial and above-grade service environments typical of gas utility and mechanical contractor work.

Key Features

• 1.5-inch socket fusion end for heat-fused, permanent pipe termination
• Yellow color designates natural gas service per industry convention
• MDPE construction suited for gas distribution piping applications
• Socket fusion joining eliminates mechanical fasteners and thread sealing compounds
• Designed for direct-burial and above-grade gas piping installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit cap for 1.5-inch MDPE gas distribution piping systems using socket fusion joining methods.

Installation Notes

Socket fusion fittings must be installed by a trained technician using properly calibrated fusion equipment sized for the pipe diameter. Before installation, shut off all upstream gas supply and verify the line is fully depressurized and purged per applicable code requirements. Socket fusion procedures must follow the pipe and fitting manufacturer specifications for heating time and cooling hold time. All gas piping work is subject to local mechanical and gas codes, including applicable provisions of the IFGC and utility authority standards.
