FAQs

What is a compression stop end used for?

A compression stop end is used to permanently or temporarily seal off the end of a pipe in a plumbing system, preventing any flow.

Do I need special tools to install this?

No, standard plumbing wrenches are sufficient for tightening the compression nut. Pipe cutters and deburring tools may be needed for pipe preparation.

Can I use this on different pipe sizes?

No, this specific fitting is designed only for 28mm diameter pipes.

Is soldering required for this fitting?

No, this is a compression fitting and does not require soldering. It uses mechanical compression to create a seal.

How tight should I make the compression nut?

Tighten the nut firmly by hand, then use a wrench for an additional 1/2 to 1 full turn. Overtightening can damage the fitting or pipe.

What material is this fitting made from?

The fitting is constructed from durable materials suitable for plumbing applications, designed to provide a long service life.

Troubleshooting

Leak at the connection point

Ensure the pipe end is clean and free from burrs. Verify the olive is correctly positioned and the compression nut is tightened sufficiently. Re-tighten slightly if necessary, avoiding overtightening.

Difficulty fitting the pipe

Confirm you are using the correct 28mm pipe diameter. Check for any obstructions or damage at the pipe end or inside the fitting.

Fitting does not seem secure

Double-check that the compression nut has been adequately tightened onto the olive and fitting body. Ensure the pipe is fully inserted into the fitting before tightening.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the end of the 28mm pipe is clean, free from burrs, and has a smooth, even edge.
  2. Loosen the compression nut on the stop end.
  3. Slide the compression nut, followed by the olive (if supplied separately), onto the pipe.
  4. Insert the pipe fully into the body of the stop end.
  5. Slide the olive down to the body of the stop end.
  6. Tighten the compression nut by hand, then use a wrench to tighten an additional 1/2 to 1 full turn (refer to manufacturer's specific torque recommendations if available). Do not overtighten.

Compatibility:

  • This fitting is designed exclusively for use with 28mm copper or compatible plastic pipes. Ensure your pipe meets relevant standards.

Care:

  • No specific maintenance is required for the stop end itself. However, periodically check connections in accessible areas for any signs of leakage, especially after initial installation or system pressure changes.
