3/4 inch PVC Schedule 40 Cap

3/4 inch Schedule 40 PVC Cap – Manufactured for Secure Pipe Termination

The 3/4 inch PVC Cap is designed for solvent-weld applications requiring a dependable seal at the end of a Schedule 40 pressure or drain line. Constructed from rigid polyvinyl chloride, this cap provides a corrosion-resistant, low-maintenance solution for terminating pipe segments in both residential and commercial plumbing systems.

Product Highlights

• ✅ Schedule 40 PVC – Engineered for pressure and non-pressure systems, offering consistent wall thickness and dimensional stability.
• ✅ Socket End Connection – Accepts a 3/4 inch nominal pipe size via solvent weld (cement) for a watertight seal without threads or mechanical fasteners.
• ✅ Corrosion-Resistant – Inert to most acids, alkalis, salts, fungi, and bacteria, making it ideal for chemical waste and water supply lines.
• ✅ NSF Certified – Approved for use in potable water distribution and meets ASTM D1785 and D2466 standards.

Technical Specifications

• Material: Rigid (Type I, Grade I) PVC
• Size: 3/4 inch nominal
• Connection: Socket (solvent weld)
• Standards: ASTM D2466, NSF/ANSI 61 & 14
• Max Temperature: 140°F (60°C)

Typical Applications

Used for sealing off ends of pressure or DWV (drain, waste, vent) piping systems. Common in potable water lines, irrigation systems, pool plumbing, and compressed air (when approved). Its low profile allows for compact installations in valve boxes, wall cavities, or tight mechanical spaces.

Installation Guidelines

Apply primer and solvent cement according to ASTM D2855 procedures. Ensure full insertion and quarter-turn during assembly for uniform cement distribution. Hold joint in place until initial set is achieved. Allow adequate cure time before system pressurization. Not intended for hot water distribution or threaded connections.

Did You Know?

All PVC fittings used in potable water systems must be NSF 61-certified and free from lead-based stabilizers. This cap meets all requirements for safe use in drinking water systems under current federal guidelines.

The 3/4 inch Schedule 40 PVC Cap is a reliable, industry-standard solution for professionals looking to terminate lines with confidence. Designed for longevity and performance in code-compliant systems, it delivers the durability and reliability required for plumbing projects of all sizes.
