Value Collection 848-030C Cpvc End Cap 3 in Sch 80 Fipt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 848-030C is a Schedule 80 CPVC end cap designed to terminate a 3-inch female iron pipe thread (FIPT) connection in pressurized piping systems. Constructed from chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC), this fitting offers strong resistance to corrosion and elevated temperatures, making it well-suited for hot and cold water distribution, industrial fluid handling, and chemical process lines. The FIPT end connection threads directly onto a male-threaded pipe end, providing a secure, leak-resistant seal. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install this fitting during system capping, pressure testing, or service isolation procedures.

This end cap is used in residential and commercial plumbing applications where Schedule 80 wall thickness is required for added pressure handling capacity. Common installation scenarios include chemical distribution lines, hot water supply systems, and industrial process piping where corrosion resistance is a priority. The FIPT connection style suits systems already fitted with male NPT-threaded pipe ends at 3-inch nominal diameter. No solvent cementing is required at the threaded joint, though thread sealant tape or compound is standard practice.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher pressure ratings compared to Schedule 40 fittings
• CPVC construction resists corrosion, scale, and elevated service temperatures
• FIPT (female iron pipe thread) end connection for straightforward installation onto male NPT threads
• 3-inch nominal fitting size suits larger-diameter piping runs in commercial and industrial systems
• Terminates pipe runs cleanly for pressure testing, system capping, or service isolation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 3-inch Schedule 80 CPVC piping systems with male NPT-threaded pipe ends.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and ASTM standards for CPVC piping. Depressurize and drain the line fully before removing any existing fitting or installing this cap. Apply thread sealant tape or paste to the male pipe threads before hand-tightening, then wrench-tighten to a snug fit without overtightening, which can crack CPVC fittings. Do not apply open flame or excessive heat near CPVC components during installation.
