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

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 62472B is a 3/8 inch female pipe thread (FPT) pipe cap machined from 304 stainless steel and rated for 150-pound service. Pipe caps in this class are used to terminate open pipe ends, seal unused ports, and protect threaded connections from contamination. The 304 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet, chemical, and outdoor environments. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians install these fittings in gas, water, and process piping systems where a clean, pressure-rated termination is required.

This cap fits standard 3/8 inch NPT female threaded pipe ends and is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC refrigerant line service ports, and industrial process piping. The 150-pound pressure class covers a broad range of typical low-to-medium pressure applications. Its compact, low-profile design allows installation in tight spaces and panel assemblies where clearance is limited.

Key Features

• 304 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and chemical environments
• 3/8 inch FPT connection threads onto standard NPT male pipe ends
• 150-pound pressure class rating suitable for low-to-medium pressure service
• Lightweight at 0.24 pounds for easy handling and installation in confined spaces
• Seals open pipe ends and protects threads from contamination during and after installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install fitting for standard 3/8 inch NPT male-threaded pipe ends in 150-pound stainless steel piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC and IFGC code requirements for the system type. Depressurize and isolate the pipe section before installing or removing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before threading on the cap, and tighten with a pipe wrench to a snug, leak-free fit. Do not overtighten stainless steel fittings, as galling on the threads can make future removal difficult.
