Description
This end stop fitting is designed to securely cap unused pipework ends within compressed air and pneumatic systems. It is ideal for safely terminating pipe runs during system testing, maintenance, or when allowing for future expansion of air ring main installations.
The push-fit design allows for fast, tool-free installation without heat or sealing compounds, significantly reducing installation time compared to traditional methods. A precision-engineered collet locking system grips the pipe securely without deformation, while the integrated nitrile O-ring provides a reliable, airtight seal.
Fully demountable for flexibility, the end stop can be removed quickly if the system layout changes or an extension is required. Manufactured from tough engineered plastic, it is compatible with John Guest nylon and powder-coated aluminium air pipe, as well as a wide range of plastic and soft metal pipe materials.
