Midland Industries 64478 Galvanized Iron Pipe Cap 2 in Fpt

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 64478 is a 2-inch FPT galvanized malleable iron pipe cap rated for 150 lb service. It terminates open-ended threaded pipe runs in low-pressure gas, water, and general plumbing systems. The female pipe thread (FPT) connection screws directly onto male-threaded pipe or nipple ends. Built to ANSI B16.3 dimensional standards, this cap measures 1.45 inches in length and handles temperatures from -20 degrees F to 350 degrees F. It is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters in both new construction and retrofit applications where a threaded pipe end must be capped, plugged, or taken out of service.

This cap is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, gas distribution, and industrial piping systems where galvanized malleable iron fittings are specified. The galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance for above-ground and interior installations. With a 2-11-1/2 thread specification, it mates correctly with standard NPT-threaded pipe and fittings at the 2-inch size. Typical uses include capping branch lines, test ports, and seasonal shutoffs on threaded iron pipe systems.

Key Features

• 2-inch FPT connection for direct installation on male NPT-threaded pipe ends
• 150 lb pressure class rating suitable for low-pressure gas and water service
• Galvanized malleable iron construction provides corrosion resistance and impact toughness
• Meets ANSI B16.3 dimensional standards for consistent fit with standard fittings
• Operating temperature range of -20 degrees F to 350 degrees F
• 2-11-1/2 thread form ensures correct NPT thread engagement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 2-inch NPT threaded iron pipe systems using 150 lb galvanized malleable iron fittings per ANSI B16.3.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system completely before removing or installing any threaded cap. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male pipe threads before threading on the cap, and tighten with a pipe wrench to proper engagement. Refer to applicable codes such as the IPC or IFGC for required pressure testing after work is complete.
