Value Collection 457-002NL Brass End Cap 3/8 in Mpt 125 Psi

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 457-002NL is a red brass pipe end cap rated for Class 125 service at 125 psi. It is used to terminate an open male pipe thread (MPT) connection in a piping system, sealing the line from flow or pressure. The red brass construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for plumbing, HVAC hydronic, and light industrial piping applications. At 0.08 pounds and compact dimensions, it is easy to handle during installation. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers, though HVAC technicians working on hydronic or refrigerant-adjacent piping systems also use fittings of this type regularly.

This end cap is suited for residential and light commercial piping systems where a threaded pipe termination is required. The 3/8 inch MPT connection is a standard tapered thread size found across a wide range of copper, brass, and steel pipe assemblies. Typical applications include capping unused branch outlets, temporarily or permanently sealing service ports, and closing off distribution lines during system modification or repair work.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off system pressure and depressurize the line fully before removing any existing fittings or installing this cap. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe compound to the male threads before tightening. Do not overtighten, as brass fittings can crack under excessive torque.
