Avonplast UPVC 1-1/4″ End Cap

The Avonplast UPVC 1-1/4″ End Cap is a component used in UPVC (Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride) piping systems to seal the end of a pipe securely. Here’s an overview of its features and applications:

1. Material: The End Cap is made of UPVC, a rigid and durable type of plastic known for its corrosion resistance, chemical inertness, and longevity. UPVC is commonly used in piping systems for conveying water, chemicals, and other fluids.
2. Size: The End Cap is designed to fit over the end of a UPVC pipe with a nominal size of 1-1/4 inches. It provides a secure and leak-proof seal to terminate the flow of fluid in the pipe.
3. Design: The End Cap features solvent weld connections, which involve applying solvent cement to the pipe end and fitting socket to create a strong and permanent bond. This design ensures a secure and leak-proof seal, preventing the escape of fluids from the pipe.
4. Versatility: End caps are essential components in piping systems for sealing off the ends of pipes, preventing debris from entering the system, and facilitating maintenance and repair activities. They are commonly used in applications such as plumbing, irrigation, HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning), and industrial processes.
5. Pressure Rating: The End Cap is designed to withstand standard operating pressures commonly encountered in plumbing and industrial applications. It is essential to adhere to recommended pressure ratings and installation guidelines to ensure optimal performance and safety.
6. Corrosion Resistance: UPVC material provides excellent resistance to corrosion, chemicals, and UV radiation, making the End Cap suitable for use in a wide range of applications, including potable water systems, chemical processing, and irrigation.
7. Easy Installation: The End Cap can be easily installed using solvent cement, which creates a strong and reliable bond between the pipe end and the fitting socket. Proper surface preparation and solvent cement application are crucial to ensure a secure and leak-proof seal.
8. Cost-Effective Solution: End caps offer a cost-effective solution for sealing off the ends of pipes in UPVC piping systems. They eliminate the need for complex and expensive modifications to the piping layout and facilitate easy maintenance and repair.

In summary, the Avonplast UPVC 1-1/4″ End Cap provides a reliable and versatile solution for sealing off the ends of UPVC pipes in various plumbing, industrial, and agricultural applications. Its durable construction, corrosion resistance, and ease of installation make it suitable for use in a wide range of environments and operating condition
