Description
ABS DWV Threaded Cap (FIPT)
ABS DWV Threaded Caps provide a removable threaded closure for compatible male-threaded connections in non-pressure drain, waste, vent, sewer, and general drainage systems.
Featuring Female Iron Pipe Threads (FIPT), this cap is designed to thread onto a compatible male-threaded pipe or fitting to provide a secure closure while allowing future removal when access is needed. Manufactured for ABS DWV service, it meets recognized standards including ASTM D2661, CSA B181.1, and NSF Standard 14.

Connection Configuration
Female Threaded Connection
The FIPT connection is designed to thread onto a compatible male-threaded pipe, fitting, adapter, or cleanout component, providing a removable closure in the drainage system.
Construction Details
The cap is manufactured from virgin ABS polymer material suitable for molded fittings and ABS drainage systems.
Its female-threaded design provides a convenient mechanical closure without requiring a permanent solvent-cement joint.
Because the cap can be removed, it is useful where future access, inspection, or system modification may be required.

Installation
Verify the nominal FIPT size before installation and confirm compatibility with the intended male-threaded ABS DWV pipe or fitting.
Inspect the male and female threads before assembly and make sure they are clean, undamaged, and free from debris.
Start the cap by hand to help prevent cross-threading, then tighten only enough to create a secure closure.
If thread sealant is required by the application, use only a product confirmed compatible with ABS. Avoid excessive tightening or incompatible chemicals that may damage the fitting.
Our piping specialists can help review your thread size, mating fitting, drainage application, and ABS DWV compatibility before you order.

What is an ABS DWV threaded cap used for?
It is used to close a compatible male-threaded connection in a non-pressure ABS drain, waste, or vent system.
What does FIPT mean?
FIPT means Female Iron Pipe Thread. The internal threads are designed to connect to a compatible male-threaded pipe or fitting.
Can the cap be removed after installation?
Yes. The threaded connection allows the cap to be removed when future access or maintenance is required.
Does this cap require solvent cement?
No. The threaded connection itself is mechanically assembled and does not require solvent cement.
Is this fitting intended for pressure systems?
No. This fitting is intended for non-pressure drain, waste, vent, sewer, and general drainage applications.
Can it be used for compressed air or gas?
No. The supplied product information specifically states that ABS DWV fittings are not intended for transporting compressed air or gas.
Can this fitting be used for pressure testing?
No. The supplied product information states that ABS DWV fittings should not be used for pressure testing.
What is the maximum operating temperature?
The supplied product information specifies applications where operating temperatures do not exceed 140°F.
What standards are referenced?
The supplied product information references ASTM D3965, ASTM D2661, CSA B181.1, and NSF Standard 14.
What should I verify before ordering?
Confirm the nominal FIPT size, mating male-threaded component, operating temperature, and intended non-pressure drainage application.
