Solder Ring Stopend 28Mm

Solder Ring Stopend 28Mm

The 28mm Solder Ring Stop End (commonly known as a "Yorkshire Stop End") is a pre-soldered copper capillary fitting used to permanently seal the end of a 28mm copper pipe. This is an essential component for decommissioning sections of pipework, capping off primary heating headers, or sealing system ends during a multi-stage installation.

Because it is a Solder Ring fitting, it features an internal ring of lead-free solder precisely measured for a 28mm joint. When heated with a professional blowlamp, the solder melts and flows around the pipe end, creating a permanent, pressure-tight seal without the need for additional solder wire.

Key Features and Specifications

Size: 28mm (Standard for primary flow/return and high-capacity water mains).

Material: High-grade copper manufactured to BS EN 1254-1 standards.

Joint Type: Solder Ring (Integral lead-free solder ring for rapid, consistent jointing).

Safety: Lead-free and fully compliant for use in both potable (drinking) water and closed-loop central heating systems.

Low Profile: Significantly more compact than a compression stop end, making it ideal for use behind walls, under floors, or in tight plant rooms.

Reliability: Designed to withstand the high temperatures and pressures of 28mm primary heating circuits.

Common Applications

System Decommissioning: Permanently capping off 28mm pipework when a boiler or cylinder has been relocated.

New Build Phases: Sealing the ends of the main "carcass" pipework to allow for pressure testing before final fixtures are installed.

Primary Headers: Closing the ends of 28mm copper manifolds in domestic and commercial heating systems.

Essential Companion Products

Jointing: Professional Lead-Free Solder Flux

Preparation: Abrasive Pipe Cleaning Strips / Cloth

Pipework: 28mm Copper Pipe (R250 Half-Hard)

Alternative Joint: 28mm Compression Stop End (for temporary or non-permanent capping)
