Pipe Cap Construction
A threaded pipe cap installs over the male-threaded end of compatible pipe, nipples, or fittings to close the piping connection.
The female-threaded design provides a removable termination, allowing the connection to be reopened later if system modifications, maintenance, or extensions are required.
This makes a cap useful for both permanent and serviceable piping terminations where a threaded closure is appropriate.
