Nomaco PESFCAP1 Ips Socket Fusion Cap 1 Inch

Product Description

The NOMACO PESFCAP1 is a 1-inch IPS socket fusion cap designed to terminate or pressure-test polyethylene piping systems. Socket fusion caps are installed by heating both the pipe end and the cap socket to the appropriate fusion temperature, then joining them to form a permanent, leak-free seal. This fitting is used in residential and commercial piping applications where a clean pipe termination is required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install this type of fitting on PE or HDPE piping systems during new construction or system modification work.

The PESFCAP1 is suited for 1-inch IPS-dimensioned polyethylene pipe runs in water service, geothermal loop, and other low-pressure fluid distribution applications. Its socket fusion end design ensures a homogeneous thermoplastic bond when proper fusion procedures are followed. This fitting is appropriate for both above-grade and below-grade installations where a permanent, non-mechanical end cap is preferred over threaded or mechanical alternatives.

Key Features

• 1-inch IPS socket fusion end for permanent thermoplastic bonding
• Designed for use with polyethylene pipe systems
• Provides a clean, pressure-rated termination point on PE piping runs
• Suitable for residential and commercial water service and geothermal applications
• No mechanical fasteners or threads required after fusion

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style socket fusion fitting for use with 1-inch IPS-dimensioned polyethylene pipe systems.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a socket fusion tool capable of reaching and maintaining the correct fusion temperature for polyethylene pipe. Power down any pressurized system and depressurize the line completely before cutting and preparing the pipe end. Follow ASTM F1056 or the pipe manufacturer's fusion procedure guidelines for heating times and joining technique. This work is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter familiar with thermoplastic pipe fusion methods.
