Description
Aluminum Cap for PPS Cross Fittings
PPS1 A7 Aluminum Caps are designed for compatible PPS cross fitting applications where an unused threaded connection needs to be closed. The aluminum construction keeps the fitting within the PPS 100% aluminum network while providing a purpose-built threaded closure for the system.
Available in 1/2", 3/4", 1", and 1-1/2" male NPT sizes, the PPS1 A7 series provides multiple closure options for compatible PPS cross fittings and piping-system configurations.

What Is a Cross Fitting Cap Used For?
Close an Unused Connection
- Threads into a compatible PPS cross fitting connection
- Closes a connection that is not required in the current piping layout
- Useful when a cross fitting is installed with fewer than all available outlets in service
- Provides a purpose-built PPS system closure
- Allows the piping layout to remain organized and serviceable
PPS Aluminum Construction
- Part of the PPS 100% aluminum network
- Designed for compatible PPS system components
- Lightweight aluminum construction
- Multiple threaded sizes available
- Suitable for new installations and piping modifications
Common Applications
Cross Fitting Closures
- Closing unused threaded outlets
- Piping system modifications
- Future expansion points
- Temporary or permanent system configurations
- Multi-direction PPS piping layouts
PPS Distribution Networks
- Compressed air distribution
- Industrial vacuum piping
- Nitrogen distribution
- Manufacturing facilities
- Production areas
- Industrial utility piping
Selecting the Correct Cap
Select the PPS1 A7 cap according to the female threaded connection on the compatible PPS cross fitting. The A7 cap uses a male NPT thread, so the male thread size must match the female NPT connection being closed.
Available options are 1/2", 3/4", 1", and 1-1/2" MNPT. Confirm the thread size before ordering.
Installation Considerations
- Confirm the required male NPT thread size before ordering.
- Verify the mating PPS cross fitting has the corresponding female NPT connection.
- Use thread-sealing practices appropriate for the intended application.
- Keep threaded surfaces clean before assembly.
- Avoid damaging or cross-threading the connection during installation.
- Use compatible PPS system components.
- Do not exceed the published maximum operating pressure of 232 PSI.
- Maintain the system within the published -4°F to 176°F operating temperature range.
- Test the completed piping network before normal operation.
- Installation should be completed by personnel familiar with the intended PPS piping system.
