Pipe Fittings
Caps are critical pipe fittings designed to protect and seal the ends of pipes or tubes, preventing water ingress and external damage. Made from materials like copper, steel, or PVC, they are widely used to waterproof connections and close pipe ends in various systems.
Caps serve as protective devices in plumbing, industrial, and water supply lines, ensuring the integrity of pipe ends. They are also used in water pump lines to remove air blocks, offering versatility and reliability across domestic, commercial, and industrial applications.
Caps are highly demanded pipe fittings, essential for safeguarding pipe ends from environmental factors and maintaining system efficiency. Available in threaded, welded, or solvent-welded forms, they are manufactured to match the material of the connected pipes, such as copper, steel, or PVC, ensuring compatibility and durability in diverse piping networks.
Caps are categorized based on their shape, material, and connection type to meet specific application requirements.
Type | Description | Application |
---|---|---|
Round Threaded Cap | Features internal threads for secure sealing of pipe ends. | Plumbing and gas lines in residential and commercial systems. |
Welded Cap | Permanently seals pipe ends through welding, ideal for high-pressure systems. | Industrial piping and oil refineries. |
PVC Cap | Lightweight and corrosion-resistant, used with solvent-welding. | Drainage and irrigation systems. |
Copper Cap | Corrosion-resistant, suitable for water and gas applications. | Domestic and commercial water supply lines. |
