1-1/4 inch Carbon Steel 417G Gas Press Cap

1-1/4 inch Carbon Steel 417G Gas Press Cap – Built for Reliable Gas Line Termination

Engineered for secure sealing of gas systems, the 1-1/4 inch Carbon Steel 417G Gas Press Cap offers field-proven performance in press-connect piping installations. Its carbon steel composition and press-fit design streamline the process of permanently closing off unused lines while maintaining structural integrity and leak resistance.

Advantages for Professional Applications

Manufactured to meet the demands of modern gas distribution systems, this press cap supports clean and code-compliant installations with minimal labor time. Key benefits include:

• ✅ Robust Carbon Steel Body – Provides superior mechanical strength and resistance to deformation under pressure.
• ✅ Precision Formed – Tight dimensional tolerances enable consistent sealing performance with compatible press tools and jaw sets.
• ✅ Reliable Sealing Element – Integrated EPDM sealing ring ensures a gas-tight closure under operating conditions when properly pressed.

Technical Characteristics

• Nominal Size: 1-1/4 inch
• Material: Carbon steel (zinc-plated exterior for corrosion resistance)
• Connection Type: Press-fit (gas-rated)
• Seal: Pre-installed yellow EPDM O-ring
• Application: Suitable for natural gas and LP systems
• Compliance: Conforms to applicable gas installation codes and standards

Use Case

This press cap is specified for terminating runs in steel gas piping systems during system modifications, branch isolation, or service line terminations. Common in both residential and light commercial environments, it supports safe shutoff without the need for threading or welding.

Installation Note

As with all gas-rated press fittings, proper tool calibration and pressing technique are critical to ensure leak-free operation. Always follow manufacturer instructions and local code requirements.

Designed for efficiency, reliability, and compliance, the 1-1/4 inch Carbon Steel 417G Press Cap delivers a secure closure solution for pressurized gas lines. It’s a practical component for contractors managing layout changes or completing dead-end terminations in rigid pipe systems.
