Close off the open end of a Spee-D run with the NDS Spee-D Channel Drain End Cap. The solid gray PVC cap attaches directly to the end of the Spee-D Channel Drain with no coupling required, sealing the channel so captured water travels toward the outlet rather than spilling out the end into the soil under your slab. Fit one at the high end of every run, or wherever a run terminates without an outlet. The UV-treated PVC matches the channel body and stands up outdoors. NDS part number 247.
Key Features
-
Direct fit: Attaches firmly to the end of Spee-D channel without a separate coupling.
-
Directs flow: Seals the channel end so water inside the run moves toward the end outlet instead of escaping.
-
UV-treated PVC: Polyvinyl chloride with UV inhibitors, the same material as the Spee-D channel, for long service in sun and weather.
-
Spee-D compatible: Part of the NDS Profile Channel series accessories for the 4-3/4 in. wide Spee-D channel.
-
About NDS: NDS produces the Spee-D channel and each accessory for it, including this end cap, the coupling and the end outlets, as one matched drainage system.
How to Install It
Decide which end of the run will carry the outlet, then cap the other end. Push the end cap onto the open end of the last Spee-D section before you set the channel in concrete, and check that the cap seats squarely against the channel profile. Keep the run pitched toward the outlet so nothing collects against the cap. Pour concrete around the capped end just as you do along the rest of the channel so the cap is held in place. Pair the cap with a Spee-D coupling at each section joint and a Spee-D end outlet or offset end outlet at the discharge end.

The NDS Spee-D Channel Drain End Cap, part 247, is the solid closure for Spee-D channel runs. It attaches directly to either end of the channel with no coupling, so the take-off is simple: one cap per channel end that does not receive an outlet. Gray PVC with UV inhibitors matches the channel body. Use it on driveways, paver and concrete patios, pool decks, courtyards and walkways wherever a Spee-D run terminates. A capped end is also the right way to close a run temporarily when the outlet leg is being phased into a later pour, since the cap keeps debris and wet concrete out of the channel.
Key Features
- Direct attachment: Seats on the channel end without a coupling, which saves a part and a joint at every closed end.
- Flow control: Closes the channel so all captured water is directed to the end outlet or offset end outlet rather than lost to the subgrade.
- Material match: PVC with UV inhibitors, same as the Spee-D channel and couplings, so the whole assembly ages at the same rate.
- Take-off: One per closed end. Catalog weight 0.40 lb. Stock a spare on multi-run jobs where a layout change adds a dead end.
- About NDS: NDS manufactures the Profile Series channel drains (Mini Channel and Spee-D) and the matching couplings, outlets and end caps, so the whole run comes from one system.
How to Install It
Fit the cap to the open end of the last section before bedding the run in concrete, and check that it seats squarely. Hold fall toward the outlet so water does not stand against the cap through freeze-thaw cycles. Encase the capped end in concrete along with the rest of the channel per the NDS Profile Channel installation manual, using the pedestrian or vehicular detail as the traffic load dictates. Pair with coupling 248 at section joints and with end outlet or offset end outlet 249 at the discharge end. Review the Spee-D outlet installation detail when the cap sits near a pipe crossing so concrete cover stays consistent. On long runs with a mid-run bottom discharge, cap both ends and confirm fall from each end toward the outlet.
