Apollo Valves CAP1 Apollopress Press Cap 1 Inch Copper

Product Description

The APOLLO VALVES CAP1 is a small-diameter press cap designed for use in ApolloPress press-fit copper piping systems. It features a lead-free, dezincification-resistant copper body and an EPDM o-ring seal, making it suitable for potable water and hydronic applications. The press-fit design eliminates open flame during installation, reducing fire risk and speeding up service time. Manufactured to ASTM material standards, the CAP1 is engineered for reliable long-term performance in pressurized plumbing and mechanical systems. It is installed using standard press tooling compatible with the ApolloPress 817 small-diameter series.

The CAP1 is used to terminate 1-inch copper press-fit lines in residential and light commercial plumbing and hydronic systems. It fits into typical cap-off scenarios during system modifications, additions, or staged construction where a line must be sealed without soldering. The Leak Before Press feature helps technicians identify any unpressed connections during pressure testing, preventing undetected installation errors before the system goes into service.

Key Features

• Lead-free dezincification-resistant copper body meets potable water requirements
• EPDM o-ring seal provides reliable, long-term sealing performance
• Press-fit connection eliminates the need for open flame or solder
• Leak Before Press technology allows visual identification of unpressed joints during pressure testing
• Manufactured to ASTM material and dimensional standards
• Compatible with ApolloPress 817 small-diameter press tooling and fittings

Compatibility

Designed for use with the ApolloPress 817 small-diameter press system on 1-inch copper tubing. Intended for press-fit copper piping installations using compatible press jaws and tools.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters using press tooling rated for copper press fittings. Depressurize and drain the line before capping any active branch. Inspect the o-ring seating and tubing end preparation before pressing. Verify all connections with a pressure test per applicable plumbing code requirements, such as IPC or local authority-having-jurisdiction standards.
