How and Where to Install an End Cap

Installing the Fernco End Cap is straightforward:

  1. Fit the Cap: Slide the end cap onto the pipe end that needs to be sealed.
  2. Securing: Tighten the stainless steel clamps to a torque of 6Nm using a torque wrench, ensuring a snug and secure fit.
  3. Bracing for Testing: When used for pressure testing, especially on smooth-walled pipes, brace the end cap to prevent inflation and dislodgment under pressure.
