Prevost End Cap

Description

Prevost End Cap

The Prevost PPS Aluminum End Cap is a robust termination fitting designed to securely seal open ends of a compressed air piping network. Whether closing off a header run or prepping a line for future expansion, this cap ensures a safe, leak-proof, and pressure-tight seal that safeguards system integrity.

Essential for future-proofing your facility, the PPS End Cap allows for easy system modification. Unlike permanent welded or threaded caps, this fitting can be quickly removed to add new pipe sections or drops as your operational needs evolve.

Key Features & Benefits

• Safety & Security: Provides a reliable, blowout-proof seal that withstands full system pressure (up to 232 PSI), preventing accidental discharge or debris entry.
• Future-Ready Design: Acts as a convenient “placeholder” for future expansion. When you need to extend the line, simply loosen the nut, remove the cap, and insert the new pipe—no cutting or re-threading required.
• Zero-Leak Technology: Utilizes the same high-performance lubricated NBR seal found throughout the PPS line, ensuring that “dead ends” in the system don’t become silent sources of expensive energy waste.
• Compact & Low Profile: The sleek aluminum design takes up minimal space, making it ideal for terminating lines in tight chases or close to walls.
• Instant Installation: Features a simple push-to-connect or single-tool tightening mechanism, allowing lines to be capped and pressurized safely in seconds.

Technical Specifications

• Part Series: PPS1 B (Cap)
• Material: Aluminum Alloy (Body) / Stainless Steel (Grip Ring)

Ideal Applications

• System Termination: Closing the ends of main headers or branch lines in a workshop or plant.
• Future Expansion Points: Capping “stub-outs” left intentionally for planned future machinery or building wings.
• Maintenance Isolation: Temporarily capping a line during maintenance or renovation while keeping the rest of the system live.
