Midland Industries 44471LF 1/4 in Fpt Bronze Pipe Cap 125 Lb

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 44471LF is a lead-free bronze pipe cap with a 1/4 in female pipe thread (FPT) connection, rated for a 125 lb pressure class. Manufactured to ANSI B16.15 dimensional standards, this cap is designed to terminate or seal the end of a threaded pipe run in a clean, reliable fashion. The 1/4-18 thread ensures a secure, leak-resistant fit. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians rely on fittings of this type for permanent or semi-permanent pipe closures across a wide range of service applications.

This cap is rated for use with air, water, oil, gas, and steam service, making it suitable for residential and light commercial piping systems alike. Its lead-free bronze construction meets requirements for potable water installations where lead-free materials are mandated by code. Typical install scenarios include capping unused branch outlets, isolating sections of pipe during service, or sealing test ports on gas or water distribution lines.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off and depressurize the affected line before installing or removing any pipe cap. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before threading on the cap; do not apply sealant to the first two threads. Verify pressure rating compatibility with the system before returning the line to service. Gas line work must comply with applicable local codes and IFGC requirements.
