Key Features and Benefits

✔ Fast, Flame-Free Installation

No soldering, no mess. The compression design allows for quick, safe, and clean installation using only hand tools. Perfect for environments where flame-based work is impractical or restricted.

✔ Durable Brass Construction

Manufactured from solid brass, each stop end resists corrosion, deformation, and high pressures. Built for longevity in both hot and cold water systems, as well as sealed central heating applications.

✔ Watertight Seal

With a precision-machined body and compression olive, the stop end delivers a tight, leak-proof seal that won’t loosen under system pressure.

✔ Suitable for Temporary or Permanent Use

Whether capping a pipe during a system upgrade or creating a long-term termination point, the Securplumb Stop End is versatile and dependable.

✔ Compatible with Plastic and Copper Pipes

Use with copper pipes as standard or with plastic pipes (when fitted with appropriate internal support sleeves).

✔ Common Sizes Available

Choose between:

• 15mm – ideal for standard domestic pipework

• 22mm – suited for main water feeds or high-volume lines

Recommended Applications

• Terminating unused outlets or extensions in domestic plumbing

• Isolating sections of pipe during renovation or repair

• Providing future connection points in new builds or system modifications

• Capping off old or redundant pipework

• Temporary blanking during testing or system flushing

Installation Instructions

1. Pipe Preparation

   • Cut the pipe squarely and deburr edges.

   • Ensure the pipe is clean and dry.

   • For plastic pipe, insert a support sleeve.

2. Assembly

   • Slide the compression nut and olive onto the pipe.

   • Insert the pipe fully into the stop end body.

   • Tighten the nut by hand, then secure further using two spanners—tighten to compress the olive and form a seal.

3. Testing

   • Pressurize the system and check for leaks.

   • If needed, tighten slightly further to secure a complete seal.

Maintenance and Handling

• Check accessibility: Compression fittings must remain accessible for inspection and maintenance. Do not bury behind walls without access panels.

• Reuse capability: Stop ends can be reused. Always replace the olive when reassembling for optimal sealing.

• Avoid overtightening: Excess pressure on the nut may damage the olive or deform the pipe.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can these be used for temporary blanking during pressure testing?
Yes. These stop ends are ideal for both temporary and permanent applications, including pressure testing and flushing.

Q: Are these suitable for use with plastic pipe?
Yes, provided you use suitable pipe inserts to reinforce the ends of plastic pipe and maintain a proper seal.

Q: Do I need any sealants or PTFE tape?
No. The compression fitting forms a seal via the olive, not the threads. Sealants are generally not required unless specified.
