Schedule 80 PVC Caps

Schedule 80 PVC caps are used to provide a secure, watertight seal at the end of a Schedule 80 PVC pipe to stop the flow of liquid in a plumbing system. Pipe caps are often used to terminate a piping run when the pipe direction is not needed or when needing to cap off an unused pipeline. Unlike other PVC plugs, caps cannot be used to seal other fittings. Made from professional grade PVC material, Sch 80 caps provide high durability and corrosion resistance to better maintain the integrity of fluid handling systems. Schedule 80 thickness means the fittings can withstand higher pressures and work strain compared to Schedule 40 components. Sch 80 PVC caps, also known as high pressure caps and industrial caps, are installed to keep out contaminants, maintain pressure, and control flow in a pipeline, ensuring safe operation and longevity for the plumbing system. Cap fittings see frequent use in chemical processing and handling, industrial plants, manufacturing facilities, water and wastewater treatment and handling, municipal facilities, as well as irrigation systems.

Schedule 80 PVC cap sizes range from 1/4" to 12” in diameter with large cap sizes from 14” to 24” available on request. The fittings are available in either Schedule 80 PVC slip cap or Schedule 80 PVC threaded cap types. PVC slip caps feature a socket connection for making solvent weld, glue joints. PVC threaded caps feature a female pipe threaded (FPT) connection for threading to a male pipe threaded (MPT) pipe.

Our Schedule 80 PVC caps are made in the United States. They are fabricated and engineered by leading manufacturers of pipes and plumbing components. The fittings are designed and tested to top industry standards to ensure their performance, quality, safety, and reliability. Our heavy duty PVC caps meet ASTM D1784 and ASTM D2464/2467 standards and are NSF certified for potable water systems.

PVC has natural resistance to many chemicals and corrosive materials used across different industries. This resistance makes Sch 80 PVC bushings suitable for a wide variety of industrial and chemical handling applications. For PVC plumbing systems to be used in chemical conveyance, always verify compatibility before use.

Schedule 80 PVC caps are commonly used in a variety of applications. They are used to cap the end of Sch 80 PVC pipes in plumbing systems for both residential and commercial buildings. Schedule 80 PVC caps are installed in agricultural and landscape irrigation systems to terminate PVC pipelines. Caps are used in industrial environments to seal pipe ends in manufacturing and processing applications. Heavy duty caps are utilized in systems that handle a wide range of chemicals to provide a secure closure for chemical transport and containment. In wastewater treatment plants and systems, caps are used to seal the ends of pipes handling water for treatment. Schedule 80 PVC caps are also used in potable and non-potable water systems where a secure and reliable pipe termination is required.
