Carrhill SCAP114 Socket Fusion Gas Mdpe Cap 1-1/4 in

Product Description

The CARRHILL SCAP114 is a 1-1/4-inch socket fusion cap designed for medium-density polyethylene (MDPE) gas distribution piping. The cap terminates an open pipe end using the socket fusion joining method, which creates a permanent, pressure-rated seal without mechanical fittings or adhesives. It is manufactured in yellow, the industry-standard color coding for natural gas service. Gas utility contractors and licensed plumbing or gas piping professionals install this fitting as part of buried or above-grade MDPE gas line assemblies.

This cap is intended for use on 1-1/4-inch MDPE gas pipe in residential and light commercial gas distribution systems. Typical applications include capping off branch lines, terminating service stubs, or closing unused pipe ends during staged construction. The socket fusion design requires a compatible fusion tool set to heat both the pipe end and fitting socket before joining, ensuring a leak-free, monolithic connection suited to underground gas service conditions.

Key Features

• 1-1/4-inch socket fusion end for permanent, heat-fused termination
• Yellow color coding identifies the fitting as rated for natural gas service
• MDPE construction provides flexibility and resistance to corrosion in buried service
• Socket fusion joint eliminates mechanical threads, reducing potential leak points
• Order increment of 1 allows single-piece purchasing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for 1-1/4-inch MDPE gas distribution pipe systems using the socket fusion joining method.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed gas piping contractor or qualified professional in accordance with applicable local codes and IFGC requirements. The gas supply must be isolated and the line depressurized before any fitting work begins. Socket fusion joints require a calibrated fusion tool set heated to the temperature specified by the pipe and fitting manufacturer. Do not apply mechanical force to the joint until the fusion cooling time specified for the pipe size and ambient conditions has elapsed.
