Universal 125mm Black Electrofusion End Cap – for MDPE Gas, LPG & Water Pipe
The end of a buried gas or water pipe has to be closed off with a seal that’s as strong as the pipe itself. Electrofusion fuses the cap to the pipe using heat from wires built into the fitting, so the closure becomes part of the pipe, not a mechanical seal that can work loose.
This 125mm universal electrofusion end cap closes the end of a length of 125mm MDPE pipe permanently. It’s made from PE100 polyethylene in black, with exposed-wire technology to maximise heat transfer and 4.0mm terminal pins. Radius’s electrofusion fittings are tested for use with PE80 and PE100 pipes in a wide range of SDRs.
Radius’s electrofusion fittings are Kitemarked to BS EN 1555-3 and GIS/PL2:4 for gas, and to BS EN 12201-3 for water, and use WRAS-approved material. The maximum operating pressure depends on the pipe and the fitting, so always check the fitting’s packaging label.
Keep the jointing surfaces clean until fusion. Electrofusion needs a compatible electrofusion control unit, correct pipe preparation and a trained installer. Gas work must be carried out by a suitably qualified, registered gas installer in accordance with the relevant standards.
Key Features & Benefits
125mm End Cap: Closes the end of a length of 125mm MDPE pipe.
PE100 Construction: High-strength polyethylene fitting that doesn't corrode.
Electrofusion Joint: Exposed-wire technology fuses the cap to the pipe for maximum heat transfer.
Universal Fitting: For natural gas, LPG and water pipe systems.
4.0mm Terminal Pins: To suit electrofusion control units with 4.0mm connections.
Kitemarked Range: Radius electrofusion fittings are Kitemarked to BS EN 1555-3, GIS/PL2:4 and BS EN 12201-3.
Ideal For
Closing off the end of an MDPE pipe run, installed by a registered gas installer where used on gas.
Sealing off a branch or dead end in new or modified pipework.
Natural gas, LPG (where confirmed suitable for the application) and water systems.
Why Buy This Product?
When a gas or water pipe needs closing off, a fused cap makes a seal that’s as strong as the pipe. The PE100 fitting doesn’t corrode, and the same cap works for gas and water pipe.
