Press Fit Water Stopend - 15Mm

Press Fit Water Stopend - 15Mm

The Press Fit Water Stopend in 15mm is a simple yet essential copper fitting used to create a rapid, permanent, and flame-free seal at the end of a 15mm copper pipe run. This fitting mechanically crimps onto the pipe, providing a watertight cap that is vital for pressure testing, isolating future pipework sections, or capping off temporary ends during a project.

Technical Specifications and Installation Advantages
Pipe Connection: 15mm Press Fit – Creates a secure, mechanical seal.

Configuration: End Cap/Stopend – Designed to permanently seal one end of the pipe.

Function: Provides a fast, robust, and permanent closure for copper pipework carrying domestic hot/cold water or heating water.

Key Feature (Sealing): Contains a black EPDM O-ring designed for reliable sealing against water and heat, commonly rated up to 110°C.

Safety: Eliminates the need for hot work (soldering), making it a safe option for installations near flammable materials or in confined spaces.

The Installer's Advantage (Speed and Testing)
The 15mm Press Fit Stopend is invaluable on site for professional plumbers. It allows for the quick capping of pipe ends—often necessary to pressure test the system before the final fixtures are installed or to temporarily secure pipework that will be extended later. The joint is guaranteed when pressed correctly, ensuring a reliable seal instantly.
