Sharkbite/cash Acme 65758B Gas Flare Cap 15/16 in Female Thread

Product Description

The SHARKBITE/CASH ACME 65758B is a 15/16-inch female thread gas flare cap used to seal off unused or inactive gas flare fittings. This cap threads onto exposed female flare connections to block gas flow and protect the fitting from debris, corrosion, and accidental contact. It is a standard service and maintenance component used in residential and light commercial gas piping systems. Licensed plumbers and gas fitters install this cap during system modifications, equipment changeovers, or anytime a gas outlet must be temporarily or permanently capped off.

This flare cap is suited for natural gas and propane distribution lines where 15/16-inch female flare connections are present. Typical applications include capping stub-outs during appliance replacement, sealing unused gas tee branches, and securing lines during pressure testing. The package contains 6 caps, making it practical for service techs who encounter multiple capping points on a single job or want to keep spares on hand.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter in accordance with local codes and IFGC requirements. Shut off gas supply and verify zero pressure at the fitting before installing the cap. Do not overtighten; hand-tight plus a modest wrench turn is sufficient to seat a flare cap properly. After installation, perform a leak check using an approved gas leak detection solution before returning the system to service.
