Midland Industries 781108-08 Bronze Pipe Cap 1/2 in Fpt

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 781108-08 is a chrome-plated, lead-free bronze pipe cap with a 1/2 inch female pipe thread (FPT) connection. Pipe caps thread onto open male pipe ends to seal a line, cap off an unused port, or terminate a run during rough-in or system modification. The lead-free bronze construction meets current potable water requirements, and the chrome plating adds a finished appearance suited for exposed installations. At 0.09 pounds, this is a compact fitting appropriate for both new construction and service work in plumbing and HVAC hydronic systems.

This cap fits standard 1/2 inch NPT male threaded pipe ends and is commonly used in residential and light commercial plumbing applications. Typical scenarios include capping off branch lines, closing unused fixture ports, and terminating test points after pressure checks. The chrome-plated finish makes it a practical choice where the fitting will be visible, such as under-sink supply lines or exposed plumbing trim in commercial restrooms.

Installation Notes

A licensed plumber or qualified tradesperson should shut off and depressurize the supply line before installing or removing any threaded pipe cap. Apply thread sealant tape or paste to the male threads before threading on the cap to ensure a leak-free seal. Tighten using an appropriately sized pipe wrench, taking care not to overtighten and crack the fitting. Work must comply with applicable local plumbing codes and standards such as the IPC or UPC.
