Sioux Chief 696-C3 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Sioux Chief 696-C3 cap fit a standard outdoor hose bib?
Yes. The 696-C3 is a 3/4 inch hose thread cap, which is the thread used on standard residential and commercial hose bibs and sillcocks. It threads onto the male hose spout the same way a garden hose coupling would, and the included gasket seats against the face of the thread to seal it.
2) Is this a pipe thread cap or a hose thread cap?
Hose thread. The 696-C3 is made for 3/4 inch hose thread (the coarse thread on hose bibs and washing machine outlet boxes), not 3/4 inch NPT pipe thread. The two are not interchangeable, so if you are capping a threaded pipe nipple or a female NPT port you need an NPT cap or plug instead.
3) How many hose caps come in a bag of the Sioux Chief 696-C3?
Ten pieces per bag. Sioux Chief packages the 696-C3 that way for truck stock and distributor shelves, so one order covers a run of washing machine outlet boxes or a set of idle hose bibs rather than a single connection.
4) Do I need to add Teflon tape or a washer to seal this cap?
No separate washer is needed. The gasket ships with the cap and does the sealing when you hand-tighten it against the hose thread face. Hose thread seals on the gasket, not on the thread itself, so thread sealant or tape is the wrong approach here.
5) Will this cap close off a washing machine outlet box valve?
It will, as long as the valve outlet is 3/4 inch hose thread, which is standard on washer outlet boxes. Capping the idle outlet with the gasketed brass cap keeps a weeping valve from dripping into the box while the unit sits vacant.
6) Is a brass hose cap worth it over a plastic one for outdoor connections?
The 696-C3 is solid brass, which holds up better than plastic on an exposed sillcock that gets sun, weather, and repeated removal. Plastic caps crack at the knurl when wrenched or weathered. If the connection is indoors behind a washer box and rarely touched, material matters less; outside or on a frequently serviced bib, brass is the one to stock.
7) Can the cap be removed later to hook a hose back up?
Yes, it is a removable cap, not a permanent plug. Thread it off by hand and the 3/4 inch hose connection is back in service, which is why it works for seasonal shutdown of hose bibs or for closing a washer outlet between tenants.
