Product Information
Full details
The Kayflow 40mm Push-Fit End Cap is designed for homeowners and professional plumbers looking to seal off 40mm grey water drainage pipes in domestic environments like kitchens, bathrooms, and utility rooms. Its primary benefit is the rapid, adhesive-free installation that ensures a secure, leak-free connection through internal rubber ring seals. While it excels in ease of use and reusability, users should ensure the pipe ends are properly deburred and clean to maintain the integrity of the watertight seal.

FAQs
Can I use this for hot water?
It is designed for standard domestic grey water, which typically handles the temperatures found in household sinks and washing machines.
Is this reusable?
Yes, because the fitting is demountable, you can remove it and reinstall it elsewhere as needed.
Do I need to buy extra seals?
No, the fitting comes with the necessary rubber ring seals pre-installed.
Does this work on solvent-weld pipes?
While it fits 40mm pipes, it is specifically designed for push-fit systems. Always check the outer diameter of your existing pipe.
What is the warranty period?
The Kayflow 40mm Push-Fit End Cap includes a 10-year manufacturer guarantee.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty pushing the cap onto the pipe
Ensure the pipe end is not oval and is free of burrs. A light chamfer on the pipe end can assist with entry.
Slow drip at the joint
Remove the cap, check that the rubber seal is seated correctly, and ensure the pipe surface is smooth and free of scratches.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward: ensure the 40mm pipe is clean, free of debris, and cut flush. Because the connection relies on a rubber seal, avoid using lubricants that might degrade rubber if not specified as safe for plumbing seals. The system is compatible with standard 40mm push-fit pipework. For care, avoid using harsh chemical drain cleaners through the system as these can potentially damage the internal seals over time. Regularly check the fitting during routine maintenance if the area is hidden behind a vanity or washing machine panel.
