Rated at Class 125, this cap accepts a 3\/8-inch female NPT (FNPT) threaded connection, making it suitable for sealing off gas, water, or air lines during installation, maintenance, or system modification. Weighing just 0.07 pounds, it is a compact fitting intended for close-quarters work where a secure, leak-resistant pipe termination is required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers, though HVAC technicians frequently use end caps when capping unused ports in piping assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end cap is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC, and compressed air piping systems where 3\/8-inch threaded pipe terminations are needed. It is appropriate for applications requiring a Class 125 pressure-rated fitting with FNPT threading.
