Midland Industries 62472 Pipe Cap 3/8 in Fpt 150 Lb 304 Ss

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 62472 is a 3/8-inch FPT threaded pipe cap machined from 304 stainless steel and rated for 150 lb pressure service. It is designed to terminate or blank off the end of a threaded pipe run in piping systems handling air, water, oil, natural gas, or steam. The cap follows ASME B1.20.1 thread dimension standards, ensuring reliable fit on standard NPT threaded pipe. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this fitting wherever a clean, corrosion-resistant end closure is required on a 3/8-inch female pipe thread.

This cap is suited for residential and light commercial piping installations where stainless steel material is preferred for corrosion resistance or media compatibility. Typical applications include capping unused branch outlets on gas distribution manifolds, water supply lines, compressed air systems, and steam service piping. Its compact profile - 0.75 inches in length and 0.8 inches in width - makes it practical in tight spaces and multi-port manifold assemblies.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded end cap for 3/8-inch NPT female pipe thread fittings in 150 lb rated piping systems carrying air, water, oil, natural gas, or steam media per ASME B1.20.1 standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters and, for gas service, must comply with applicable IFGC or local code requirements. Always depressurize and isolate the piping system before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service media before threading the cap onto the female pipe end. Do not overtighten; use a properly sized pipe wrench and follow standard trade practice for threaded NPT connections.
