Screw fit 15mm end cap required?

[shin185]

Hi All,

I've recently removed my dishwasher and I want to remove the dishwasher water supply pipe highlighted in the picture in yellow. Is it possible to get a screw fit end cap (should be 15mm) for the point highlighted in red? Or will I need to replace the whole connector highlighted in blue with a straight connector?

Thanks in advance

No you can’t get a threaded fitting for that. Options are:

• Fit a push fit stop end with an insert as close to the tee as possible (water regulations is no more than twice the pipe diameter)
• fit a compression stop end with an insert (same water reg applies)
• remove tee and fit a coupling, however please note the pipe may be slightly shorter in length to achieve this.

Great! Thank you. Seems like cutting the pipe and putting a stopend on is the easiest option.

And the reason for this is mate?

To prevent a dead leg in the system

Would this be OK for use long term? If so it could be an easier option as I wouldn't have to cut the pipe.

Can't see why not. Seems the perfect solution, really. Only thing I'd say is it's different manufacturer from the fitting so at your own risk. Diameter should be the same, though, so ought to work.

Pushing the peg in is as sound as pushing a piece of 15mm pipe in. Hi as ric says usually it's best to use the same manufacturer on fitting and pipe but as a DIY job on your own home I'd go for it - afaik hep are the only manufacturers of a blanking peg.

My mistake then. It IS the same manufacturer (sorry - thought plug was Speedfit for some reason!)
