End cap KAN-therm 50 PP — plastic pipe fitting for 50 mm

KAN-therm 50 PP end cap is a polypropylene pipe fitting designed to seal or close the open end of 50 mm pipes. Intended for use with compatible PP piping systems, the end cap provides a tight termination that prevents fluid or gas escape and protects the pipe interior from dirt and moisture during installation or when a run is intentionally terminated.

Advantages

The end cap is made of durable polypropylene, offering chemical resistance and long service life in typical plumbing and heating environments. Its simple push-fit or solvent-weld compatible design ensures quick installation and removal when temporary closure is needed, while providing a reliable permanent seal when installed according to system requirements. The smooth inner surface minimises sediment accumulation and facilitates cleaning or inspection of the pipeline.

Suitable for

• Sealing the end of 50 mm polypropylene (PP) pipes in plumbing systems
• Temporary closure during pressure testing or maintenance
• Permanent termination of non-pressurised or low-pressure runs in heating installations
• Protecting pipe ends during transport, storage, and construction works

Key specifications

• Material: polypropylene (PP)
• Nominal pipe size: 50 mm
• Function: end cap / pipe termination
• Surface: smooth inner surface to reduce sediment buildup
• Compatibility: suitable for use with 50 mm PP piping systems

How to use

Ensure the pipe end is clean, dry and free of burrs or debris before fitting the end cap. Align the end cap with the pipe axis and push it onto the pipe until it reaches full seating. For solvent-weld or heat-fusion jointing methods, follow the system manufacturer's instructions and applicable safety guidelines for surface preparation, fusion parameters, and cooling times. After installation, verify the seal visually and perform pressure tests as required by the project specifications.

Usage recommendations

Use the end cap only with compatible polypropylene pipes of matching outer diameter. Avoid exposure to open flames or solvents not recommended for PP. For pressurised systems, confirm the end cap's suitability for the intended pressure rating and follow local regulations and installation standards.
