Eastman 70136 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Eastman 70136 hose cap thread onto a standard outdoor spigot or sillcock?
Yes. The Eastman 70136 is sized for 3/4 inch garden hose thread (GHT), which is the thread on standard hose bibbs, sillcocks and outdoor spigots in North America. It threads on hand tight, no tools needed.
2) Is a 3/4 inch garden hose cap the same thing as a 3/4 inch pipe cap?
No, and this is the mix-up that sends people back to the counter. The 70136 is cut for 3/4 inch garden hose thread, which is a different pitch and diameter from 3/4 inch NPT pipe thread. It caps the hose outlet of a bibb or sillcock. To cap a 3/4 inch threaded pipe stub, you need an NPT cap instead.
3) Can I use the Eastman 70136 cap to winterize an outdoor hose bibb?
It closes off the hose outlet and keeps dirt, debris and moisture out of the threads, which is useful going into the off season. It is a protective cap, not a freeze-protection device, so the bibb still needs to be drained or isolated at the shutoff. For an insulated faucet cover, that is a separate product.
4) What size is the Eastman 70136 and what is the part number to order?
Eastman 70136, one size only: 3/4 inch garden hose thread. There is no other size or finish choice to specify on the order.
5) We're capping exterior spigots during a renovation before the hose bibbs get used. Is this the right part for that?
That is exactly what it is for. Threading the cap onto an exposed 3/4 inch GHT hose bibb during construction or renovation keeps the threads clean and undamaged until the opening is put into service. Property maintenance crews also use them to close unused bibbs so nobody connects a hose to a line that is not finished.
6) Does the Eastman 70136 hose cap come with a washer or need thread sealant?
The 70136 goes on hand tight directly onto a 3/4 inch garden hose fitting, no special tools. Garden hose connections seal on a flat gasket face rather than on the threads, so tape or pipe dope is not how this one seals. If the cap is going on a bibb you want tight against water pressure, make sure a hose washer is seated in the joint.
