Value Collection 848-002 Pvc End Cap 1/4 in Sch 80 Fipt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 848-002 is a 1/4 inch Schedule 80 PVC end cap with a female iron pipe thread (FIPT) end connection. It is used to terminate and seal the end of a threaded PVC pipe run, blocking flow and pressure at the last point in a piping system. Schedule 80 wall thickness gives this cap greater pressure rating and mechanical strength compared to Schedule 40 fittings of the same size. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians install this type of fitting in water treatment, chemical handling, irrigation, and general process piping applications where corrosion resistance and non-metallic construction are required.

This end cap is suited for residential and light commercial piping systems where a 1/4 inch threaded termination is needed. Its FIPT connection threads directly onto a male-threaded pipe end, making installation straightforward without solvent welding or special tooling. Common use cases include capping unused branch outlets, sealing test ports, and closing off low-pressure distribution lines in PVC piping assemblies.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction for higher pressure rating compared to Schedule 40
• FIPT end connection threads onto standard male pipe threads
• 1/4 inch fitting size for small-diameter pipe terminations
• PVC material provides corrosion resistance in wet and chemical environments
• Lightweight at 0.02 pounds for easy handling in tight spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard fitting for 1/4 inch Schedule 80 PVC threaded piping systems.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters working on PVC threaded piping systems. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before removing or installing any end caps. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before threading on the cap - do not overtighten, as PVC threads can crack under excessive torque. Work must comply with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC standards.
