Installation Notes
Make sure to cut the pipe square and remove any burrs.

Wipe away excess cement and allow proper cure time before pressurizing or filling the system.
Maintenance Tip
Periodically inspect capped lines for external damage, UV-aging or any unintended leaks. If the cap becomes cracked or deteriorated, replace it promptly to maintain plumbing integrity and prevent infiltration or contamination.
