Elkhart Products DWVTESTCAP-12 Copper Dwv Test Cap

Product Description

The ELKHART PRODUCTS DWVTESTCAP-12 is a wrot copper DWV test cap used to pressure-test drain, waste, and vent piping systems during rough-in and inspection. The cap accepts a 0.5 inch copper pipe end and is joined by soldering, creating a temporary or permanent seal at the pipe terminus. At 0.003 pounds, it is a lightweight fitting suited for tight spaces in residential and light commercial DWV rough-in work. Licensed plumbers install this cap when system pressure testing is required before wall closure or final inspection. The wrot copper construction ensures a clean, leak-free solder joint consistent with copper DWV system standards.

This test cap is designed for use in copper DWV piping systems where pressure or air testing of drain, waste, and vent lines is required. Typical applications include new construction rough-in, renovation tie-ins, and pre-inspection test procedures on 0.5 inch copper DWV pipe runs. It is installed at open pipe ends to allow the system to be pressurized and checked for leaks before the piping is concealed. This fitting belongs to the Elkhart Products Wrot DWV product line, Model 316-T.
