Nibco Inc 9172650PCU Press Tube Cap 0.5 Inches

Product Description

The NIBCO INC 9172650PCU is a 1/2-inch press tube cap designed to permanently terminate the end of a copper or press-fit pipe. This fitting uses a press-style connection to seal the pipe end without soldering, making it a fast and reliable option for stopping water flow in a closed plumbing system. It is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where a leak-free, solder-free termination is required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this cap using a standard press tool, streamlining service on live or new construction systems.

This press tube cap is used wherever a pipe end must be capped off cleanly in a potable water supply system. Common scenarios include decommissioning unused branch lines, capping stub-outs during rough-in work, or sealing off a pipe run during phased construction. The press connection eliminates open flame at the fitting, reducing risk in confined or combustible spaces. It is packaged in a quantity of 10 units per package, making it practical for service vans and supply staging.

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber using a calibrated press tool sized for the 1/2-inch fitting.
