Midland Industries 44479LF Pipe Cap 2-1/2 in Fpt Bronze 125 Lb

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 44479LF is a lead-free bronze pipe cap designed to terminate or close off a 2-1/2 inch female pipe thread (FPT) connection. Rated at 125 lb pressure class and conforming to ANSI B16.15 dimensional standards, it is suited for service on air, water, oil, gas, and steam systems. The 2-1/2-8 thread pitch ensures a secure, leak-resistant seal on standard NPT fittings. At 1.69 inches in length, this cap is compact enough for tight mechanical spaces. Lead-free bronze construction meets current potable-water regulatory requirements, making it appropriate for both plumbing and industrial piping applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers.

This cap is used across residential, commercial, and light industrial piping systems wherever a threaded end must be capped and sealed. Typical applications include shutting off unused branch lines, blanking test ports, and capping temporary line ends during phased construction. Its material compatibility with air, water, oil, gas, and steam service makes it a versatile fitting for mechanical rooms, boiler rooms, and process piping. The 125 lb pressure rating suits the majority of low- to medium-pressure systems encountered in commercial plumbing and HVAC hydronic work.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Isolate and depressurize the line before installing or removing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before engagement. Tighten to hand-tight plus the number of turns appropriate for the pipe size per IPC or IFGC guidelines - do not over-torque bronze fittings, as the material can crack under excessive force.
