What Is the GI Pipe Cap Used For?
Every pipe run has to end somewhere. This cap screws over the male-threaded end of a ½" GI pipe or nipple to make a sealed dead end — at the last point of a distribution line, on a stub left for a future tap stand, or on a section being pressure tested before it is connected.
Before fitting, check that the male thread on the pipe or nipple matches the cap's parallel female thread, then seal the male thread with tape or compound and tighten the cap by hand followed by a spanner. When the line is later extended, the cap can simply be unscrewed and replaced with a socket, tee or elbow.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Number of ½" caps for line ends and future extension points.
- The male thread type on your pipes or nipples, so fit can be confirmed.
- Whether plugs are also needed for closing female-threaded openings.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Cap fthd GI 14 Bar do?
