Frequently Asked Questions
What are malleable cast iron caps used for?
Malleable cast iron caps are used to close the end of a pipe, providing a removable or permanent seal to maintain pressure, protect threads, and prevent contamination in piping systems.
Are these caps suitable for saltwater marine applications?
Yes, the hot-dipped galvanized finish provides enhanced corrosion resistance for saltwater environments. However, for prolonged exposure or highly corrosive service, alternative materials such as bronze or stainless steel may be recommended.
What thread standards are used?
These caps feature NPT (National Pipe Thread) threads, which are the standard for most marine and industrial pipe fittings in the US. NPT threads ensure a tight, tapered seal when properly installed with thread sealant.
What sizes are available?
We offer a wide range of sizes from 1/8” to 4” nominal pipe size, covering most standardized marine piping requirements. Custom size inquiries are welcome.
