Pipe cap - diameter 15,16mm; double IVAR.AGE 06

Product detailed description

Double-ended pipe caps are commonly used in HVAC, plumbing and irrigation systems to seal the ends of pipe runs or to provide insulation at junctions. These caps are particularly useful in systems where a clean finish is required or where the pipe is not to be connected further. The 15,16mm diameter is a standard size for many low-pressure systems, including underfloor heating, condensate lines and small-diameter water circuits. The double-ended design allows for a 50mm spacing between the two outlets, making it suitable for use in modular or panel-based installations where alignment is critical.

Installers and technicians working in residential and commercial buildings often use these caps in pre-assembled pipe systems, manifolds and insulation panels. The compact size and dual-ended configuration make it ideal for sealing ends in tight spaces or for use in pre-fabricated components. The ABS material ensures compatibility with a range of fluids and environments, including cold water, glycol mixtures and condensate.

The 15,16mm diameter is suitable for standard low-pressure pipe systems. The double-ended configuration with a 50mm spacing ensures compatibility with modular systems and panel-based installations. The ABS material is selected for its chemical resistance and dimensional stability, making it suitable for long-term use in a variety of environments.

Installation and connection

The cap is designed for push-fit or threaded connection, depending on the system configuration. The 15,16mm diameter corresponds to standard pipe sizes used in underfloor heating and condensate systems. When installing, ensure the pipe ends are clean and free of debris to ensure a secure fit. A common mistake is misalignment of the two outlets, which can lead to difficulties in connecting downstream components. Always verify the spacing and orientation before securing the cap in place.

Compatibility and accessories

This cap is compatible with standard 15,16mm diameter piping systems. It is commonly used in conjunction with manifolds, insulation panels and pre-assembled pipe modules. No additional accessories are required for standard installation. For larger systems or custom configurations, additional sealing or insulation materials may be needed, depending on the application.

Technical background for designers

The cap functions as a sealing and insulation component in low-pressure piping systems. The ABS material is chosen for its impact resistance and dimensional stability, ensuring long-term performance in a range of environments. The dual-ended design allows for integration into modular systems where alignment and spacing are critical. The material’s resistance to common fluids and its low thermal conductivity make it suitable for both insulation and sealing applications. The cap is designed to maintain system integrity by preventing air or fluid ingress at the end of a pipe run.

Service and operation

The cap requires no regular maintenance due to its durable ABS construction. During operation, ensure that the cap remains securely attached to the pipe and that there are no signs of wear or deformation. If the cap becomes damaged or dislodged, it should be replaced to prevent system leaks or contamination. No service intervals are required for this component under normal operating conditions.

Frequently asked questions
