Carrhill SCAP2 Socket Fusion Gas Mdpe Cap 2in Yellow

Product Description

The CARRHILL SCAP2 is a 2-inch socket fusion cap designed for use with gas-service medium-density polyethylene (MDPE) pipe. Yellow coloring identifies this fitting as gas-service rated per standard industry convention. The cap terminates a run of MDPE pipe by fusing directly to the pipe end using a socket fusion tool, creating a leak-resistant, permanent seal without mechanical fasteners. It is installed by licensed gas fitters, plumbers, or utility contractors working on underground or above-grade gas distribution systems where MDPE piping is specified.

This cap is suited for residential and light commercial gas service piping applications where a dead-end termination is required. Typical scenarios include capping an unused branch, pressure-testing a newly installed gas main segment, or permanently closing off a decommissioned gas service line. Yellow MDPE fittings are the recognized standard for natural gas and LP gas distribution piping in direct-buried and conduit applications.

Key Features

• 2-inch socket fusion end for permanent, heat-fused connection to MDPE pipe
• Yellow color coding identifies gas-service rating per industry convention
• MDPE construction provides corrosion resistance and flexibility for buried service conditions
• Terminates pipe runs cleanly for pressure testing or permanent line decommissioning

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation fitting for 2-inch gas-service MDPE piping systems using socket fusion joining methods.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a qualified gas fitter or licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local codes and IFGC requirements. Shut off and verify zero gas pressure in the line before any work begins. Proper socket fusion tooling must be brought to the manufacturer-specified temperature before fusing; do not attempt to install this fitting with solvent cement or mechanical compression methods. Allow the fused joint to cool fully before applying any pressure test.
