Merit Brass XNL116-08 Brass Pipe Cap 1/2 Inch Fnpt

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS XNL116-08 is a 1/2 inch nominal brass pipe cap with a female NPT (FNPT) end style, rated at 125 lb. This fitting is used to close off the end of a threaded pipe run, stopping flow and sealing the line. The cap is machined from brass and features a rough finish. It is suited for use in plumbing, HVAC, and light industrial piping systems where a reliable, threaded pipe termination is required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting as part of new construction rough-in work, system modifications, and service repairs.

This pipe cap is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications. It is commonly used to cap unused branch outlets, isolate sections of piping during testing, or permanently terminate a supply line. The 1/2 inch nominal size and FNPT thread style make it a standard fit for common supply and distribution piping configurations.

Key Features

• 1/2 inch nominal size with FNPT thread for easy installation on male-threaded pipe ends
• 125 lb pressure rating suitable for standard service piping applications
• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance in water and gas service
• Rough finish — suitable for applications where appearance is not a factor

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-service fitting for 1/2 inch NPT threaded pipe systems in plumbing and HVAC applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before threading the cap onto the pipe end. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape in accordance with IPC guidelines before tightening. Do not overtighten, as brass fittings can crack under excessive torque.
