Press-fit stop ends permanently cap the end of a compatible pipe run, providing a neat termination where a branch is no longer required or a future extension is not planned. They can be used in plumbing and heating systems subject to the fitting material, seal and service specification.
The stop end must match the pipe size and approved press profile. Before installation, cut and prepare the pipe correctly, insert it to the full depth and press it using the specified tool and jaw.
Because a pressed stop end is not normally intended for routine removal, the final position should be checked carefully before completing the joint. The capped pipe should remain appropriately supported and be included in system pressure testing.
Browse the press-fit stop ends below alongside valves and couplings for secure termination and isolation arrangements. You may also find the related ball valves and press-fit couplings useful when completing the system.
