Value Collection 848-025 Pvc End Cap 2.5 in Schedule 80 Fipt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 848-025 is a Schedule 80 PVC end cap designed to close off the terminal end of a 2-1/2 inch PVC piping run. It features a female iron pipe thread (FIPT) end connection, allowing it to thread directly onto male-threaded pipe or fittings without additional adapters. Schedule 80 wall thickness gives this cap the pressure ratings and structural rigidity required for demanding plumbing, industrial, and chemical-handling applications. At 0.8 pounds, it is lightweight and easy to handle during installation. Plumbers and pipefitters use this type of fitting to terminate lines, cap test ports, or seal unused branches in pressurized systems.

This end cap is suited for residential and commercial plumbing systems, irrigation lines, industrial process piping, and chemical distribution runs where PVC is the specified material. The FIPT connection type makes it compatible with standard NPT-threaded pipe ends. Schedule 80 designation makes it appropriate for higher-pressure service conditions compared to Schedule 40 alternatives. It is sold individually and is a direct-install fitting requiring no special tooling beyond a pipe wrench or strap wrench for proper thread engagement.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction for higher-pressure and heavy-duty piping applications
• 2-1/2 inch FIPT end connection threads directly onto male NPT pipe ends
• PVC material resists corrosion and is compatible with a wide range of chemicals
• Lightweight at 0.8 pounds for easy single-technician handling
• Sold individually with no minimum order required beyond one unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for Schedule 80 PVC piping systems using 2-1/2 inch male NPT-threaded pipe or fittings.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters working on PVC pressure systems. Depressurize and drain the line completely before removing any existing cap or fitting. Apply thread sealant tape rated for PVC and plastic fittings to the male threads before engagement. Do not over-tighten, as PVC threads can crack under excessive torque; hand-tight plus one to two turns with a strap wrench is the standard practice for threaded PVC fittings.
