ABS End Cap
The ABS End Cap is a durable fitting designed to securely seal the open end of an ABS piping system. Manufactured from Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), it combines lightweight construction with high strength and impact resistance, ensuring long-lasting performance in demanding applications. Resistant to corrosion and scaling, the end cap provides a permanent, leak-proof closure when solvent welded to ABS pipes. Suitable for operating temperatures from -40°C to +70°C and pressure ratings up to PN 15, it is widely used in water supply, cooling systems, marine, aquaculture, food & beverage, and non-aggressive chemical handling systems.
