Manufactured from 316 stainless steel, it provides strong resistance to corrosion and oxidation in demanding service environments. Rated to 150 psi, this cap is suited for low-to-medium pressure piping systems where a secure, leak-free termination is required. Plumbers, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians install this type of fitting during system construction, pressure testing, or when capping unused branch connections in fluid or gas distribution lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end cap is appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing, industrial process piping, and instrumentation lines where 316 stainless steel is specified for corrosion resistance. The 1\/8-inch FNPT threaded connection makes it compatible with standard pipe threads in water, air, and compatible fluid systems. It is commonly used to terminate unused ports on manifolds, valves, and distribution headers. The fitting meets ISO standards, making it suitable for installations requiring documented compliance with international piping specifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in wet and chemical-exposure environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/8-inch FNPT threaded connection for standard pipe thread engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e150 psi pressure rating suitable for low-to-medium pressure service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThreaded end cap design allows installation and removal without special tooling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ISO standards for use in compliant piping installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact and lightweight at 0.05 pounds for easy handling in tight spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style threaded end cap for 1\/8-inch FNPT pipe connections in standard plumbing, process, and instrumentation piping systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off and depressurize the piping system fully before removing or installing any end cap. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before engagement. Tighten to snug fit using a pipe wrench or appropriately sized wrench — do not overtighten stainless steel threaded fittings, as galling can occur. Verify system integrity by pressure testing after installation per applicable code requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: End Cap\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Threaded\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: FNPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 150 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: 316 Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ISO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.05 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40175300\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: MERIT BRASS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: K616-02\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51723286282546,"sku":"K616-02","price":34.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/b881ec1c12482df43d606ad8258a01da.jpg?v=1788602654","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-k616-02-pipe-end-cap-1-8-in-316-ss-fnpt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
