Does anyone have a 3” copper pipe cap lying around?

[Quickstep192]

I have a non-plumbing project that might be able to use a 3” copper pipe cap.

I need to know how deep the cap is.

I can’t seem to find any specs online.

If anyone has a 3” copper cap and can get a measurement, that would be great. If you want to sell it, even better.

I don't have one and not even sure I've seen one that large.
However, aren't those copper caps usually square?
3" diam. x 3" deep
1" diam x 1" deep
? ?

The drawing from McMaster shows a cap with 90° shoulders; the one I’m planning to buy from Zoro has filleted shoulders. I wonder if the depth is kind of a standardized thing?

Doubtful, every manufacture will likely be a bit different. There is likely an industry minimum, but I wouldn't count on that being very accurate across brands.

1.66 inches is the dimension required by the manufacturing specification ASME B16.22.

That is EXACTLY what I was going to reference for the answer.

Looks like 1.66 is the socket depth and 1.74 is the overall measurement.
