Value Collection 6CB1/4 Pipe End Cap 1/4 in 316 Ss Fnpt 150 Psi

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6CB1/4 is a 1/4 inch threaded pipe end cap machined from 316 stainless steel. It is designed to close off the open end of a threaded pipe or fitting, blocking flow and capping unused ports in a piping system. The female NPT (FNPT) connection threads directly onto standard male NPT pipe ends. Rated to 150 psi, this cap suits low-to-moderate pressure applications where corrosion resistance is a priority. Plumbers, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians install this type of cap during system modifications, pressure testing, and service isolation work.

This end cap is suited for residential and light commercial piping applications where a corrosion-resistant, threaded closure is needed. The 316 stainless steel construction provides better resistance to chlorides and acidic environments compared to 304 grade, making it appropriate for chemical, marine, food service, and coastal installations. It fits standard 1/4 inch NPT threaded pipe assemblies and is a common choice for capping instrumentation ports, test points, and branch connections that are not in active use.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in harsh and chloride-rich environments
• FNPT threaded connection for direct installation onto standard 1/4 inch male NPT pipe ends
• 150 psi pressure rating suitable for low-to-moderate pressure piping systems
• Compact end cap profile for use in tight piping configurations and instrumentation manifolds
• No-weld, thread-only installation requires only a pipe wrench and compatible thread sealant

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded end cap for standard 1/4 inch NPT male pipe ends in stainless steel piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters following applicable IPC or IFGC guidelines. Depressurize and isolate the piping system fully before installing or removing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPT threads before threading on the cap. Hand-tighten first, then use a pipe wrench to achieve a proper mechanical seal without overtightening, which can crack or distort threaded fittings.
