Philmac End Cap IPS-OD (ASTM D3035) – Compression Cap for HDPE Pipe
The Philmac End Cap provides a simple and reliable way to terminate or temporarily cap the end of an IPS-OD polyethylene (HDPE) water line. Its compression-style connection installs directly onto compatible poly pipe without gluing, threading, or heat fusion.
This fitting is especially useful in rotational grazing and livestock watering systems, where water lines may be extended later or where unused branches need to be securely capped.
Key Features
