2" Cap, Slip PVC Schedule 80 (847-020)

The 847-020 is a 2" PVC Schedule 80 cap in a slip configuration, providing a permanent solvent-weld termination for a 2" pipe end, fitting spigot, or stub-out. The slip socket accepts standard 2" pipe or a spigot-end fitting for solvent cement bonding, sealing the end of a Schedule 80 line cleanly and permanently — whether closing off a dead-end run, terminating a distribution header, blanking an unused outlet on a tee or cross body, or capping a system stub-out during phased construction.

The slip cap is the permanent termination solution in the PVC cap family. Unlike a threaded FPT cap, which can be removed and reinstalled with a strap wrench, the 847-020 creates an irreversible solvent-weld joint — the cap becomes a monolithic extension of the pipe assembly once cemented, with no mechanical joints, threaded interfaces, or gaskets to maintain, loosen, or leak over time. This makes the slip cap the correct choice when the termination is genuinely permanent, when a flush end profile is preferred over a threaded stub, and when future access or branch connection at the capped end is not anticipated. Where there is any possibility of needing to open the capped end for future expansion or reconfiguration, the 848-020 FPT cap or a mechanical alternative should be evaluated before committing to a solvent-weld termination.

At the 2" size, the 847-020 appears frequently on process piping dead ends, unused branch outlets on tees and crosses, manifold terminations, equipment stub-outs during construction phasing, and anywhere a 2" Schedule 80 line reaches its terminal point and requires a clean, pressure-rated end seal. The solvent-weld construction is a particular advantage in chemical handling, buried industrial piping, and enclosed mechanical spaces where a threaded cap's potential for loosening under thermal cycling, vibration, or chemical exposure is a concern — the cemented slip cap eliminates these failure modes entirely at the termination point.

Schedule 80's thicker wall construction delivers higher pressure ratings and stronger resistance to mechanical stress and chemical exposure than Schedule 40, making the 847-020 appropriate for demanding industrial, chemical, and process environments where the heavier wall is specified throughout the system. The gray color is the standard Schedule 80 identifier, providing clear visual differentiation from white Schedule 40 components in mixed systems.

Solvent cement installation follows standard PVC practice — clean, prime, and cement both the pipe end and the cap socket per ASTM D2564 procedures. Ensure the pipe is fully seated in the socket before the cement sets. Confirm orientation is not a concern for caps — unlike elbows and tees, the slip cap has no directional requirement — but cleanliness of the socket bore and full cement coverage are critical for a leak-free permanent seal at the termination point.

Industries & Applications:

The 847-020 slip cap is used across any Schedule 80 system requiring a permanent, pressure-rated solvent-weld termination of a 2" pipe end or stub-out:

• Industrial Processing — Permanent termination of dead-end process piping headers, unused tee and cross outlets, and equipment stub-outs in 2" Schedule 80 process lines where a flush, monolithic end seal is preferred over a threaded termination in high-pressure or chemically aggressive environments
• Chemical Handling — Permanent solvent-weld termination of unused branch outlets and dead-end runs in acid, alkali, and reagent distribution systems where the cemented slip cap eliminates threaded joint loosening risk under thermal cycling, vibration, and chemical exposure at the termination point
• Water & Wastewater Treatment — Capping unused or end-of-run ports on 2" treatment plant distribution piping, process water supply headers, and pump station runs where a permanent solvent-weld termination is required in fully cemented Schedule 80 installations
• Irrigation & Agriculture — Permanent termination of 2" pressurized mainline supply runs, distribution headers, and system stub-outs in agricultural and landscape irrigation systems where dead-end runs require a flush, maintenance-free end seal in buried or exposed installations
• Commercial & Industrial Plumbing — Permanent termination of 2" cold water mains, equipment supply headers, and mechanical room distribution piping where a flush solvent-weld end cap is specified at dead-end runs and system boundaries in Schedule 80 construction
• Aquaculture & Aquatics — Permanent termination of recirculating system headers, filter manifold outlets, and pump discharge dead ends in 2" Schedule 80 installations where a cemented cap provides maintenance-free, long-term sealing at the pipeline terminus
• Pool & Spa — Permanent end-of-run terminations in commercial pool mechanical room piping at 2" pump discharge, filter connection, and chemical feed distribution dead ends where Schedule 80 solvent-weld construction is used throughout
• HVAC & Cooling Systems — Permanent termination of 2" chilled water and process cooling distribution dead ends and unused branch outlets where PVC Schedule 80 slip caps provide maintenance-free, pressure-rated sealing at system boundaries
