The Prima Plus 15mm Endfeed End Cap is an essential component for professional plumbers and DIY enthusiasts working on copper pipe installations for water and gas systems. These end caps provide a secure, leak-proof seal for pipe terminations, offering peace of mind through their WRAS approval and adherence to EN 1254 standards. While they offer superior reliability, users must be proficient in traditional endfeed soldering techniques to ensure a proper bond, as these caps require heat and solder to function correctly.

Yes, they are designed for both water and gas plumbing systems, provided they are installed according to local gas safety regulations.
Yes, these are endfeed fittings, meaning they require flux and solder to create a secure, watertight bond.
Yes, they are WRAS approved, which confirms they are safe for use in systems carrying potable water.
No, these are made for copper pipes and are not compatible with plastic pipe systems.
They are designed specifically for standard 15mm copper piping.
Each pack contains 25 individual 15mm end caps.
Ensure the pipe and fitting were cleaned thoroughly with an abrasive pad. Re-apply heat to the fitting, as it may not be hot enough to draw the solder in.
This often results from insufficient flux or an air gap. Drain the system, allow the pipe to cool, clean the area again, and re-solder the joint.
To install the end cap, follow standard soldering practices: first, clean the exterior of the 15mm copper pipe and the interior of the end cap using an abrasive pad to remove oxidation. Apply a thin layer of flux to both surfaces, slide the cap onto the pipe, and apply even heat using a blowtorch. Once the pipe is hot enough, touch the solder wire to the edge of the fitting; the capillary action will pull the solder into the joint. Allow the connection to cool naturally without moving it. Keep these fittings in a dry, cool environment to prevent pre-installation oxidation, though minor surface discoloration is normal for raw copper components.
