Ashirvad Flowguard Plus End Cap

Ashirvad Flowguard Plus End Cap provides a permanent, leak-proof seal for terminating CPVC pipe ends. This essential fitting is used to close off unused branches, dead-end lines, or temporary pipe terminations during phased construction. The precision-molded socket design ensures proper pipe insertion depth and optimal solvent cement bonding for a watertight seal that withstands full system pressure.
Manufactured from high-grade CPVC compound, this end cap maintains the same temperature and pressure ratings as the pipe system. The smooth exterior finish allows for easy installation in tight spaces, while the durable construction ensures long-term reliability. Essential for system testing, future expansion provisions, and closing off abandoned pipe sections during renovations.

Recommended Applications

Dead-End Branches: Sealing unused tee or manifold outlets for future expansion

System Testing: Temporarily capping pipes during pressure testing before final connections

Phased Construction: Closing off pipe stubs for future bathroom or kitchen additions

Renovation Projects: Sealing abandoned pipe sections when rerouting plumbing

Manifold Systems: Capping unused outlets on distribution manifolds

Temporary Terminations: Closing pipes during staged installation or repairs

Installation Guidelines

Pipe Preparation: Cut pipe squarely; deburr and chamfer pipe end at 10-15? angle

Dry Fit Check: Insert pipe into end cap socket to verify proper fit (pipe should insert 2/3 of socket depth)

Surface Cleaning: Clean pipe end and cap socket interior with CPVC cleaner

Solvent Cement Application: Apply Ashirvad CPVC solvent cement evenly to both surfaces; insert pipe with quarter turn and hold for 30 seconds

Curing & Testing: Allow 24 hours curing before pressure testing; verify no leaks at cap joint
