Part of the Alpha series, this fitting accommodates pipe material transitions from IPS PVC through cast iron, making it a versatile tool for testing, blow-off, and line flushing applications as well as permanent pipe-end sealing. The ductile iron casting components meet ASTM A-536 grade 65-45-12. Gripping teeth are machine sharpened and heat treated for positive restraint. The fitting accommodates up to 4 degrees of deflection and carries NSF 61 and NSF 372 certifications for use in potable water systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end cap is suited for municipal water and sewer contractors, utility crews, and plumbing professionals working on new installation, repair, or maintenance of buried or above-grade pipe systems. It is designed for use on plain-end pipe and serves multi-purpose roles across residential, commercial, and light municipal projects. The wide pipe-range design reduces the need to stock multiple fittings for different pipe outside diameters within the 4-inch nominal size range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRestrained joint design holds under pressure for testing, flushing, and permanent installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAccommodates up to 4 degrees of deflection for misaligned or offset pipe ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAll cast components (end rings, center ring, bolt guides) are ductile iron meeting ASTM A-536 grade 65-45-12\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGripping teeth are machine sharpened and heat treated for reliable pipe engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eXylan 1424 coating on metallic components provides corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGasket options include SBR (water and sewer, NSF 61 classified by UL) or NBR (water and sewer, NSF 61 certified)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e304 stainless steel hardware; manufactured in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use on 4-inch plain-end pipe spanning IPS PVC through cast iron pipe outside diameters.
