Available Sizes and Technical Specifications

Key Features

WRAS Approved

Each fitting is certified by the Water Regulations Advisory Scheme, confirming compliance for use with potable water systems in the UK. The materials used will not compromise water quality or hygiene.

Compression Fit Design

The compression stop end uses a mechanical jointing method that eliminates the need for soldering or special tools. This makes it ideal for installations where heat cannot be applied, or where time efficiency is crucial.

Durable and Reusable

Made from corrosion-resistant, high-quality brass, these fittings are suitable for use in both new installations and repairs. The reusable nature of compression joints makes them a flexible choice for dynamic plumbing projects.

Secure End-Cap Solution

Ideal for sealing off unused pipe ends in closed plumbing systems or future branch connections. Commonly used in maintenance work, remodeling, or when isolating sections of a pipe system.

Compatible with Standard Copper Pipe

Designed to fit standard 15mm and 22mm copper piping, ensuring a seamless and watertight connection in both domestic and commercial environments.

Applications

Whether you're sealing off a disused spur or preparing a system for future upgrades, Securplumb Compression Stop Ends offer dependable results.

Installation Guidelines

1. Pipe Preparation

   • Ensure the pipe is clean, round, and free of burrs. Cut to a square end for optimal sealing.

2. Fitting Assembly

   • Loosen the compression nut and slide it onto the pipe along with the olive (compression ring).

3. Connection

   • Insert the pipe into the stop end body, ensuring it seats fully.

   • Tighten the compression nut with a spanner until resistance is felt, then an additional quarter-turn to secure the joint.

4. Testing

   • Once installed, pressure test the system to confirm the joint is leak-free.

Note: Avoid overtightening to prevent distortion of the olive or the fitting.

Product Care and Maintenance

• Ensure joints are kept free from debris or excessive mechanical strain.

• Periodically check capped ends for signs of wear or leakage in exposed systems.

• Store fittings in a dry place to prevent surface oxidation prior to use.
