The Spears schedule 80 PVC cap fitting features female NPT threads and is designed for closing or terminating the end of a pipe or fitting with male NPT threads. These National Pipe Taper (NPT) threads are known for creating a tighter seal than straight threads.

It is compatible with schedule 80 (thick wall) PVC pipes and fittings, making it suitable for use in chemical processing, industrial plating, chilled water distribution, deionized water lines, and chemical drainage and wastewater treatment systems. Additionally, PVC can be connected to materials such as steel, copper, or cast iron through the use of transition fittings.

With a maximum operating temperature of 140 degrees F, this fitting meets ASTM International D1784 and D2467 standards, providing quality assurance. It is also certified by the National Sanitation Foundation International (NSF) for potable water service, making it suitable for closing or terminating pipes used for conveying drinking water, waste water, chemicals, and other liquids in a range of industries. Pipe fittings are essential components used for connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping in various industries. When selecting pipe fittings, it's important to consider the application, as this will impact the material type, shape, size, and required durability. Fittings are available in threaded or unthreaded options, and come in a variety of shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness).
