TDM Brass 106 End Cap 3/8 inch Male Thread

The TDM Brass 106 end cap is a professional-grade plumbing component engineered to provide a secure and permanent seal for pipe ends featuring a 3/8 inch male thread connection. Constructed from high-quality brass, this fitting is designed to withstand the rigors of residential and commercial water supply and heating systems, ensuring structural integrity and long-term reliability in various piping configurations.

Advantages

This brass end cap offers exceptional durability and resistance to corrosion, making it an ideal choice for demanding plumbing environments. Its precise threading ensures a tight, leak-proof seal that maintains system pressure effectively. The robust material composition prevents deformation under thermal stress, providing consistent performance in both hot and cold water applications while maintaining a compact profile for installations in tight spaces.

Suitable for

• Sealing unused pipe ends in water supply systems
• Closing off branches in heating circuits
• Professional plumbing installations and repairs
• Temporary or permanent pipe termination

When it may not be suitable

This component is not intended for use with pipe systems that do not feature a standard 3/8 inch male thread. It should not be used in high-pressure steam systems or environments where the chemical composition of the fluid is incompatible with brass materials.

Key specifications

• Material: Brass
• Connection type: 3/8 inch male thread
• Application: Water supply and heating systems
• Design: End cap fitting

How to use

To install the TDM Brass 106 end cap, ensure the pipe thread is clean and free of debris. Apply an appropriate thread sealant, such as PTFE tape or liquid sealant, to the male threads of the pipe or the fitting to ensure a watertight connection. Screw the end cap onto the pipe end by hand until it is finger-tight, then use a suitable wrench to tighten it further until secure. Do not overtighten, as this may damage the threads or the fitting.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your existing pipe connection is a 3/8 inch male thread
• Ensure the system pressure and temperature are within the operational limits of brass fittings
• Check if additional sealing materials like PTFE tape are required for your specific installation

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the connection for any signs of moisture or leakage after initial installation and during routine system maintenance to ensure continued performance.
