Merit Brass XNL116-24 Brass Pipe Cap 1-1/2 in Fnpt 125 Lb

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS XNL116-24 is a 1-1/2 inch nominal brass pipe cap with a female NPT (FNPT) end style, rated at 125 lb. It is used to close off the end of a threaded pipe run, preventing flow or sealing a line that is no longer in service. The cap is finished in a rough brass surface and is an import product. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in water supply, low-pressure steam, air, and general-purpose piping systems where a threaded termination is required.

This cap is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and mechanical applications. The 125 lb pressure rating makes it appropriate for standard low-pressure service lines. The FNPT thread pattern accepts standard NPT male-threaded pipe ends, making it compatible with common black iron, galvanized, and brass pipe assemblies. It is a straightforward dead-end fitting used during system modifications, pressure tests, or permanent line terminations.

Key Features

• 1-1/2 inch nominal size with FNPT threading for standard NPT pipe compatibility
• 125 lb pressure rating suitable for low-pressure plumbing and mechanical service
• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance in water and air service
• Rough finish — suitable for applications where finish appearance is not a factor
• Compact cap design closes off threaded pipe ends cleanly and securely

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-service fitting for 1-1/2 inch NPT threaded pipe systems rated at 125 lb service pressure.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off and depressurize the affected line before threading on the cap. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope to the male threads before installation in accordance with IPC and local plumbing codes. Do not overtighten, as brass fittings can crack under excessive torque applied with power tools.
