3/4" PCV threaded cap

[SuzukiGS750EZ]

Hey guys, i'm looking for a metal threaded cap the same thread pitch as a schedule 40 PCV 3/4" threaded cap. I don't care what kind of metal is it as long as i can drill a hole in it lol. Any ideas?

Regular old galv 3/4" cap should work.

 

[The Cobbler]

yes, should be same thread as IPS so you have several choices

 

[SuzukiGS750EZ]

Oh and it needs to be external threads...

 

[The Cobbler]

so you need a ips plug
what size hole do you need?

So what i'm trying to do is adapt a metal (metal because it'll be flat and a bolt won't deform it) 3/4" plug to fit a PVC 3/4" coupler with a PVC pipe on it. It'll be turned by a motor. I tried making it with a PVC plug but it wobbles which isn't working for me. I need the back of the cap to be true.

how fast does this turn? sounds like you need more precision than just using a drill to drill a hole ?

 

[SuzukiGS750EZ]

Nah, as long as it's close to center it'll be fine. The hole won't be TOO big so if i use a digital caliper it'll be fine. I don't need precision on the turn as much as i need a flat surface to mount the plug to the motor so it doesn't induce big wobble by being angled in any way. It turns slow, 5-6 rpm.

What he said.

Most plugs are going to be cast and then threaded so don't expect the part of the plug that you would put a wrench on to have much degree of accuracy. You may find a brass plug that's fully machined. Ideally you would put the plug in a machined coupler and the chuck it in a lathe and face the end and drill the hole at the same time.

Hello, Most black iron and stainless pipe caps are flat on the back.

Brass threaded pipe cap has a flat cap
