Pipe End Caps

Pipe end caps, also known as pipe caps or end plugs, are fittings used to seal the open end of a pipe. They serve multiple purposes, including protecting the pipe from dirt, debris, and moisture, preventing leaks, and providing a finished appearance to the pipe. Pipe end caps come in various materials, sizes, and designs to accommodate different pipe types and applications.

Key points to understand about pipe end caps:

1. Protection:Pipe end caps protect the open end of a pipe from external elements such as dust, dirt, insects, and moisture. This helps maintain the cleanliness and integrity of the pipe’s interior.
2. Sealing:End caps create a watertight seal at the end of the pipe, preventing leaks and potential damage to the surrounding environment.
3. Applications:Pipe end caps are used in various industries and applications, including plumbing, construction, manufacturing, industrial equipment, and more.
4. Materials:Pipe end caps manufactured by Conex Metals are made from Stainless Steel, Brass, or Aluminium. The choice of material depends on factors like the pipe material, intended use, and environmental conditions.
5. Types:Pipe end caps come in different types, including threaded caps (which screw onto threaded pipes), slip-on caps (which slide onto unthreaded pipes), and push-fit caps (which are pressed onto pipes without threading).
6. Sizes:Pipe end caps are available in a range of sizes to fit various pipe diameters and thicknesses.
7. Designs:Some pipe end caps are designed for temporary use, such as during transportation or storage, while others are meant for permanent sealing.
