Cap, Slip PVC Schedule 40 3/4" (447-007)

This 3/4" Schedule 40 PVC Slip Cap provides a permanent, pressure-rated solvent-cement closure for any standard 3/4" PVC pipe end, terminating the pipe run with a full-strength cemented bond equivalent in integrity to a standard pipe-to-fitting joint. Constructed in white Schedule 40 PVC, it is the highest-demand entry in the 447 series — the standard permanent all-socket pipe end closure at the dominant residential and light commercial irrigation grid and lateral distribution diameter — appearing throughout all-socket PVC assemblies wherever a 3/4" pipe run must be permanently terminated without threading, plugging a fitting hub, or introducing additional intermediate fittings at the pipe end.

The slip socket interior is sized to accept the exterior of any standard 3/4" PVC pipe end and is solvent-cemented in place to form a permanent, leak-free closure — identical in installation method and joint strength to cementing a pipe end into any other Schedule 40 socket fitting. This closure method is the correct choice when a 3/4" pipe end must be permanently sealed and no future access to the port is anticipated — as opposed to the FPT cap (448-007 confirmed in this catalog session), which threads over a 3/4" male NPT pipe end and can be removed and reinstalled for future access; or the MPT plug (450-007 confirmed in this session), which threads into a 3/4" female port and also offers removability. The slip cap should not be confused with the spigot plug (449-007 confirmed in this session), which inserts into and cements into the interior of a socket fitting hub rather than socketing over a pipe end exterior — the slip cap is the correct choice when terminating a pipe end directly, while the spigot plug is correct when closing a spare socket port on an existing fitting body without a pipe section between the hub and the closure point. At 3/4", this is the highest-demand entry in the 447 series — appearing throughout residential and light commercial all-socket irrigation grid and lateral distribution assemblies where 3/4" socket pipe run dead ends, system boundary terminations, and phased expansion limits must be permanently sealed; in fire suppression grid branch line terminations where 3/4" socket pipe run ends require permanent closure; and in commercial plumbing distribution assemblies where 3/4" socket pipe run dead ends require permanent sealed termination. At 3/4", all four primary closure types are confirmed in this catalog session — 447-007 (permanent slip cap over pipe end), 448-007 (removable FPT cap over male NPT pipe end), 449-007 (permanent spigot plug into socket fitting hub), and 450-007 (removable MPT plug into female port) — together covering every pipe end and port closure scenario at the dominant residential irrigation diameter; 447-007 is the correct choice when the closure point is a 3/4" all-socket pipe run end requiring a permanent cemented seal.

Rated to approximately 480 psi at 73°F, this cap is suited for standard commercial and light industrial water distribution and irrigation service within its pressure class. NSF/ANSI 61 listing confirms suitability for potable water contact.

Apply solvent cement to both the pipe end exterior and the fitting socket interior per ASTM D2564 procedures, inserting fully and maintaining a quarter-turn during assembly. Because the slip cap is a permanent closure, confirm the pipe end is intended for permanent sealing before cementing — the joint cannot be disassembled after cure without cutting into the pipe; if future access is anticipated, the FPT cap (448-007 confirmed in this session) provides a removable threaded alternative at a male-threaded pipe end. Allow adequate cure time before pressurizing, and derate pressure ratings for elevated temperatures per published derating curves.

Specifications:

Industries & Applications:

• Irrigation & Water Distribution — Permanently terminates dead-end 3/4" socket mainline, lateral, and distribution pipe runs, seals system boundary pipe ends at phased installation limits, and closes spare pipe stub ends during pressure testing in residential, agricultural, and municipal irrigation systems where the sealed pipe end requires no future access and a permanent solvent-cement closure maintains all-socket assembly integrity at the pipe run termination throughout the 3/4" grid and lateral distribution layout
• Fire Suppression Systems — Permanently closes dead-end 3/4" socket branch line terminations, spare run stub ends, and system boundary pipe ends in light-hazard and residential Schedule 40 PVC fire suppression assemblies where unused 3/4" socket pipe run ends must be permanently sealed throughout the all-cemented grid layout during initial system installation or phased construction
• Commercial Plumbing — Permanently closes 3/4" socket PVC pipe ends at dead-end branch terminations, distribution header boundaries, and system test point caps in commercial building water distribution systems where the sealed pipe end requires permanent closure and all-socket construction is maintained throughout the assembly
• Industrial Process Piping — Provides a permanent solvent-cement closure at dead-end 3/4" socket process water distribution pipe runs, header terminations, and system boundary pipe ends in water treatment, chemical processing, and manufacturing facilities where all-cemented system integrity is maintained at every permanently sealed pipe end throughout the 3/4" distribution layout
• Chemical Handling — Delivers a corrosion-resistant permanent socket closure at 3/4" pipe end termination points in chemical distribution assemblies, pump station socket piping, and feed line headers conveying acids, caustics, fertilizer solutions, and other fluids incompatible with threaded metal closures — the solvent-cement bond providing equivalent long-term chemical resistance to the fitting body itself at each permanently sealed 3/4" pipe end
• Water Treatment & Aquaculture — Used to permanently seal dead-end 3/4" socket distribution pipe runs, spare outlet pipe stubs, and distribution header pipe terminations in filter manifold assemblies, pump station socket piping, and treatment system distribution layouts where NSF/ANSI 61 compliance and long-term chemical resistance are required at all permanently sealed pipe ends throughout the all-cemented assembly
