The end cap for irrigation pipes is essential for our irrigation systems with a closed circuit.
When we build our irrigation system, the main problem that usually arises is leaks in the system and possible leaks.
In order to maintain the water pressure inside our pipe, we need all the pipes to be well sealed and without leaks.
Depending on the diameter of our irrigation pipe, we will use a measure of 16 or 25 mm, depending on our needs and the size of the circuit.
The installation of the 16mm model is done by pressure, facilitating its installation if we previously heat the tube with a hair dryer or even submerging it in a glass of hot water.
The 25mm model. It has a simpler and more reliable installation. Unscrewing the connector, we will see an o-ring that hugs the tube and an internal rocker connector that is where our tube will go.
Once water enters the circuit, the swingarm puts pressure on the O-ring, making the system totally watertight.
Remember that when cutting the tube, do it at a perfect right angle so that the base of the tube fits perfectly on the entire base of the swingarm.
What are the dimensions of the end plug for irrigation pipes?
- Plug 16mm – 16×30 mm.
- Plug 25mm – 25×50 mm.
Growlet tip:
Heat the 16mm pipe a bit. to make it easier for you to insert the end cap.
In the case of the 25 mm. no need to heat.
