Merit Brass XNL116-32 Pipe Cap 2 Inch Fnpt 125 Lb Brass

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS XNL116-32 is a 2-inch nominal brass pipe cap with a female NPT (FNPT) end style, rated at 125 lb. It is designed to close off the end of a threaded pipe run in plumbing, HVAC, or industrial piping systems. The cap threads directly onto a male NPT pipe end, providing a secure, pressure-rated termination. Constructed from rough brass, it suits applications where corrosion resistance and reliable thread engagement are priorities. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install these caps during new construction, system testing, and service work to cap unused branch lines or isolate sections of pipe.

This pipe cap is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and piping systems where 125 lb-rated brass fittings are specified. It fits standard 2-inch NPT-threaded pipe ends and is commonly used in water supply, steam, and low-pressure gas distribution lines where a threaded brass termination is required. It is an import fitting intended for general-service threaded pipe applications.

Key Features

• 2-inch nominal size with FNPT (female national pipe taper) thread for standard threaded pipe compatibility
• 125 lb pressure rating suitable for water, steam, and low-pressure service
• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance and durable thread engagement
• Rough finish allows for additional finishing or use in concealed applications
• Threaded cap design for tool-installable, removable termination

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install fitting for 2-inch nominal male NPT-threaded pipe ends in 125 lb-rated threaded brass piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements for the service type. Shut off and depressurize the piping system before threading on the cap. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPT threads before installation. Do not overtighten, as brass threads can be damaged by excessive torque.
