Copper End Cap Conex Kapa B Press 18 mm P530101800000 for Press-fit Plumbing

Conex Kapa copper end cap B Press 18 mm is a press-fit fitting intended to permanently close the end of an 18 mm copper pipe run in water and heating systems. Designed for use with compatible B Press pressing tools and jaws, the end cap creates a secure, leak-resistant joint without soldering. The component is suitable for domestic and commercial plumbing applications where a pressed copper termination is required for pipework, repairs, or alterations.

Advantages

The pressed connection delivers a consistent mechanical and hydraulic seal, reducing the risk of leaks and the need for hot works. Installation is fast compared with traditional brazing or soldering and does not require an open flame. Manufactured from copper, the end cap provides corrosion-resistant contact with copper pipe and maintains the thermal and hygienic properties of the system. The compact design is compatible with standard 18 mm copper tubing and B Press compatible pressing systems.

Suitable for

• Sealing the end of 18 mm copper water supply pipes
• Temporary or permanent pipe terminations during installations or renovations
• Repairing or isolating sections of copper heating circuits
• Situations where flame-free press fitting is required

Key specifications

• Material: Copper
• Connection type: B Press press-fit

How to use

Ensure the copper pipe end is cut square, deburred and cleaned before assembly. Slide the Conex Kapa end cap onto the prepared 18 mm pipe until it seats fully. Use a suitable B Press pressing tool with the correct jaw for 18 mm fittings to make the press operation according to the pressing tool manufacturer’s instructions. After pressing, visually inspect the joint and, where applicable, perform a pressure test in line with local regulations and project requirements.

Usage recommendations

Use only B Press compatible pressing equipment and the correct jaw size for 18 mm fittings. Do not attempt to press fittings on damaged or heavily corroded pipe ends. Follow applicable plumbing codes and perform pressure testing after installation to verify system integrity.
