Viega MegaPress 316 1.25-Inch FKM Stainless Cap

The Viega MegaPress 316 Cap closes a 1-1/4 inch pipe end, in 316 stainless with an FKM sealing element.

Capping a 1-1/4 inch line usually means terminating a distribution branch that has been taken out of service or left for future connection. Leaving a capped stub rather than cutting the line back is what makes a later addition straightforward instead of a rebuild.

A pressed cap seals without threads, and threads are where a stainless system corrodes first because cutting a thread breaks the passive oxide layer that protects the metal. One grip ring, one separator ring and one sealing element make the joint, the simplest arrangement in the range and the least that can go wrong. Explore more marine pipe and fittings.
