Merit Brass XNL116-20 Brass Pipe Cap 1-1/4 Inch Fnpt

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS XNL116-20 is a 1-1/4 inch nominal brass pipe cap with a female NPT (FNPT) end style, rated for 125 lb service. Pipe caps are used to close off the end of a threaded pipe run, providing a pressure-tight seal in fluid and gas piping systems. Machined from brass with a rough finish, this cap is a standard fitting used by plumbers and pipefitters in both new construction and retrofit applications. Its 125 lb pressure rating suits typical low- to medium-pressure systems found in commercial and residential plumbing and HVAC piping.

This pipe cap is suited for use in water supply, compressed air, gas distribution, and general-purpose piping systems where a threaded end closure is required. The 1-1/4 inch nominal size fits standard Schedule 40 pipe in that dimension. It is commonly installed during pressure testing to temporarily or permanently seal a pipe terminus, and is appropriate for both indoor and concealed applications where a rough finish is acceptable.

Key Features

• 1-1/4 inch nominal size fits standard NPT threaded pipe
• Female NPT (FNPT) thread engagement for direct threaded installation
• 125 lb pressure rating suitable for low- to medium-pressure service
• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance in water and gas service

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded fitting for use with standard 1-1/4 inch NPT-threaded pipe in plumbing, HVAC, and general piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC and IFGC code requirements for the system type. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system fully before installing or removing any threaded cap. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male pipe threads before tightening. Do not over-torque brass fittings, as brass threads can be damaged by excessive force.
