Midland Industries 706108-12 Brass Pipe Cap 3/4 in Nptf

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 706108-12 is a lead-free brass pipe cap designed to terminate or seal the end of a threaded pipe run. It uses a 3/4-inch female NPTF (National Pipe Taper Fuel) connection, providing a pressure-rated, leak-resistant seal when threaded onto a male-threaded pipe end. The cap measures 0.94 inches in length with a 1-1/4-inch hex profile for standard wrench engagement. Weighing approximately 0.2 pounds, it is compact and suited for tight spaces. Lead-free brass construction meets regulatory requirements for potable water and plumbing systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this fitting.

This pipe cap is used in residential and light commercial plumbing installations to permanently or temporarily close off a threaded pipe end. It is compatible with brass or steel pipe and is appropriate for use in water supply, fuel gas, and general fluid handling systems where NPTF threads are specified. The 3/4-14 thread pitch conforms to standard NPTF specifications, making it a reliable choice for new installations or service work requiring a capped termination point.
