Product Information
Full details
The Plumbright 28mm Stop End is designed for professional plumbers and DIY enthusiasts working on heavy-duty 28mm plumbing systems who need a reliable, tool-free method to seal pipe ends. Its primary benefit is the push-fit mechanism that significantly reduces installation time while maintaining high-pressure integrity; however, users should ensure the pipe is cut square and deburred perfectly to guarantee a leak-free seal upon insertion.

FAQs
Can I reuse the Plumbright 28mm Stop End?
While these fittings are designed for permanent installation, they can often be reused if removed correctly with a release tool and the O-ring remains in pristine condition.
Is this fitting suitable for gas lines?
No, this fitting is intended for water and heating systems only. Never use push-fit plumbing fittings on gas pipework.
Do I need to use PTFE tape with this fitting?
No, push-fit fittings rely on an internal O-ring to create a watertight seal; PTFE tape is unnecessary and may interfere with the fitting's connection.
Is it safe for drinking water?
Yes, as it is WRAS approved, it meets the requirements for use with potable water systems.
Can I use this on copper and plastic pipes?
This fitting is designed for standard 28mm systems; ensure the pipe material is compatible with the fitting specifications before installation.
Troubleshooting
The fitting is leaking at the connection point.
Remove the fitting and check the pipe for scratches or burrs. Ensure the pipe is inserted fully past the O-ring.
Fitting is difficult to push onto the pipe.
Ensure the pipe end is properly deburred and lubricated with a light, non-petroleum based plumber's lubricant if necessary.

- No open flames or hot work permits required
- Certified to industry standards (WRAS/KITEMARK)

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure the 28mm pipe is cut square using a proper pipe cutter. Use a file or de-burring tool to remove all sharp edges from the pipe end, as burrs will damage the internal seal. Push the fitting firmly onto the pipe until you feel it hit the internal stop.
Compatibility: Designed specifically for 28mm diameter piping.
Care: Inspect the fitting periodically for signs of movement. If you need to remove the fitting, use the appropriate release tool recommended by the manufacturer to avoid damaging the internal locking teeth.
