Malleable iron hexagon Cap Fig 301 A197 NPT ASTM

Malleable iron hexagon Cap Fig 301 A197 NPT ASTM

Product Overview

This malleable iron hexagon Cap Fig 301 A197 NPT  is manufactured strictly to ASTM standards, designed for closing the end of internally threaded pipes or fittings. The hexagonal profile allows easy operation with a wrench for installation and disassembly. Made of premium black heart malleable iron with high-temperature graphitization annealing, it offers excellent toughness, impact resistance and no brittle fracture. Threads meet ANSI precision requirements; combining with PTFE tape or pipe thread sealant ensures long-term leak-free sealing. Available in black, electro-galvanized and hot-dip galvanized finishes, it has strong corrosion resistance and is suitable for water, gas, fire protection, HVAC and various low-pressure industrial fluid systems.

Installation and Maintenance

  1. Inspect the hexagon Cap Fig 301 A197 NPT before installation to ensure no sand holes, cracks, deformation and intact threads
  2. Clean iron chips, dust and debris at pipe ends to keep connecting surfaces clean
  3. Wind PTFE tape clockwise or apply pipe thread sealant on male threads
  4. After hand-tightening, use a pipe wrench to tighten evenly to avoid cracking due to excessive force
  5. Pressure test after installation; put into use only after confirming no leakage and looseness

Maintenance

  1. Regularly check joints for leakage, thread looseness and surface corrosion
  2. Paint anti-rust paint regularly for outdoor or humid environments to extend service life
  3. Replace immediately in case of cracks, deformation, leakage or serious corrosion
