The Charman Inc SP112 is a female-threaded stainless steel pipe cap used to close the end of a male-threaded pipe, nipple, fitting, or equipment connection. Unlike a pipe plug, which threads into a female opening, a threaded cap installs over an externally threaded connection.

This configuration provides a compact and removable method of terminating a piping connection. SP112 threaded caps can be used at permanent line endings as well as locations that may need to be reopened later for maintenance, inspection, testing, cleaning, or system expansion.

A pipe cap and pipe plug can both be used to close a piping connection, but they attach differently. The SP112 cap contains female threads and installs over a male-threaded pipe, nipple, fitting, or equipment connection. A plug contains male threads and installs into a female-threaded opening.

Select the fitting style that matches the connection being terminated. The SP112 threaded caps in this listing are designed for compatible male NPT connections.

• At the end of a male-threaded pipe or nipple
• On unused threaded equipment connections
• At piping termination points that may require future access
• For temporary isolation during fabrication or maintenance
• For protecting exposed male pipe connections when a line is not in service
• At planned future system-extension points

• Confirm the required nominal pipe size before ordering.
• Verify that the mating component has a compatible male NPT connection.
• Confirm that 304 stainless steel is compatible with the intended service.
• Inspect mating threads for contamination or damage before assembly.
• Use a thread-sealing method appropriate for the system media, operating conditions, and applicable codes.
• Begin threading by hand whenever possible to reduce the risk of cross-threading.
• Tighten using appropriate tools and accepted threaded-piping practices.
• Avoid excessive tightening that could damage the cap, mating fitting, or pipe threads.
• Confirm pressure and temperature requirements for the complete piping system.
• Pressure-test completed piping assemblies as required by the application and applicable codes.
• Installation should be completed by qualified personnel.
• Follow applicable piping codes, specifications, and installation procedures.
