Avonplast CPVC 32mm 1-1/4″ End Cap

The Avonplast CPVC 32mm 1-1/4″ end cap serves as a vital component in CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride) piping systems. Here’s an overview of its features and functions:

1. Material: Constructed from CPVC, a type of thermoplastic known for its excellent chemical resistance, high-temperature tolerance, and durability. CPVC is commonly used in hot and cold water distribution systems, as well as in industrial applications where resistance to corrosive fluids is essential.
2. Size: The end cap is designed to fit over the end of a 32mm (approximately 1-1/4″) CPVC pipe. It provides a sealed closure, preventing the flow of fluids and debris into the pipe system.
3. Design: The end cap typically features a socket end that fits snugly over the outside of the CPVC pipe. It may have a threaded interior for easy installation and removal, allowing for temporary or permanent closure of the pipe end.
4. Solvent Welding: Installation of the end cap involves solvent welding, where CPVC solvent cement is applied to both the outside of the pipe end and the inside of the end cap’s socket. When the end cap is pressed onto the pipe end, the cement forms a chemical bond that fuses the components, creating a secure and leak-free seal.
5. Corrosion Resistance: Thanks to its CPVC construction, the end cap offers excellent resistance to corrosion, making it suitable for use in various environments where exposure to corrosive substances is a concern.
6. Application: End caps are used to seal the ends of CPVC pipes in plumbing and piping systems. They are essential for preventing leaks, controlling the flow of fluids, and protecting the interior of the pipe from external contaminants.

In summary, the Avonplast CPVC 32mm 1-1/4″ end cap provides a reliable solution for sealing the ends of CPVC pipes, ensuring a watertight and secure closure in CPVC piping systems.
