At 3\/8 inch, this cap threads directly onto male pipe ends to provide a secure, pressure-rated termination point. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting during system construction, pressure testing, or maintenance shutoffs. The forged steel construction delivers the wall thickness and mechanical strength required for demanding industrial and commercial service conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis cap is suited for use in high-pressure steam, gas, oil, and hydraulic piping systems where a Class 3000 pressure rating is specified. It is a standard fitting for branch termination, system capping during hydrostatic testing, and permanent end closures on 3\/8 inch threaded pipe runs in both commercial and industrial installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClass 3000 pressure rating for high-pressure service applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eForged steel construction provides superior strength over cast alternatives\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8 inch threaded connection for direct installation on male NPT pipe ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact and lightweight at 0.11 pounds per fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuitable for steam, gas, oil, and hydraulic piping service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard-stock fitting compatible with 3\/8 inch NPT threaded pipe systems rated for Class 3000 service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable piping codes such as ASME B16.11 and the International Plumbing Code. Shut down and depressurize the piping system fully before removing or installing any threaded cap. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before threading the cap on by hand, then tighten with a pipe wrench to achieve a leak-free connection. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the threads or fitting body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Class\u003c\/strong\u003e: Class 3000\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Forged Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Threaded (NPT)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.11 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 082647107984\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: MATCO-NORCA\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: mn-ft3ca02\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MATCO-NORCA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51621282644274,"sku":"MN-FT3CA02","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/matco-norca-mn-ft3ca02-forged-steel-threaded-cap-3-8-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
