PVC cap that closes off the end of a schedule 40 PVC pipe permanently. The single end is a slip-cement socket; prime, cement, push, hold — the joint is a chemically-welded plastic seal that's stronger than the pipe itself.

Dry-fit into the cap socket to verify the pipe seats fully against the internal seating ring. Apply Spears P-70 (or equivalent) PVC primer to both the pipe end and the inside of the cap socket — the primer chemically softens the PVC for cementing; skipping it is the #1 reason an end cap weeps under pressure. Apply medium-bodied PVC solvent cement to both surfaces. Push the cap fully onto the pipe and rotate 1\/4 turn to spread the cement and eliminate dry spots. Hold for 30 seconds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIf you may need to remove this later, DON'T use a 447 cap.\u003c\/strong\u003e The solvent-weld bond is intentionally permanent; removal requires cutting the pipe back behind the cap and re-cementing a new fitting in place. For openable closures, use a Spears 435-007 female adapter (already cemented onto the pipe) plus a threaded plug that can be unscrewed at will.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCure:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 hour before low-pressure water test; 24 hours before full operating pressure.
