2 inch ABS DWV Cap

2" ABS DWV Cap – Solvent Weld Closure for Non-Pressurized Drainage Systems

The 2" ABS DWV Cap is a solvent weld fitting used to terminate or temporarily seal 2-inch ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) drain, waste, and vent piping systems. Designed for use in non-pressurized applications, this cap provides a secure and code-compliant solution for capping pipe ends during new construction, pressure testing, or future expansion planning.

Manufactured from high-strength ABS resin, the cap offers excellent impact resistance and dimensional stability. It is suitable for horizontal and vertical installations in gravity drainage systems operating under standard plumbing codes.

Performance and Technical Characteristics

• ✅ Material: Injection-molded ABS thermoplastic for consistent wall thickness and uniform sealing surfaces.
• ✅ Connection Type: Socket (hub) x closed end – intended for solvent cement joining to DWV piping.
• ✅ System Use: Designed for non-pressurized DWV systems (not suitable for potable water or pressurized lines).
• ✅ Corrosion Resistance: ABS is resistant to degradation from common household chemicals and wastewater exposure.
• ✅ Code Compliance: Conforms to ASTM D2661 and CSA B181.1 standards for plastic DWV fittings.

Technical Specifications

• Nominal Size: 2 inches
• Material Standard: ABS DWV-grade resin (typically ASTM D3965 or equivalent)
• Connection Method: Solvent weld using ABS cement
• Operating Conditions: For use in systems under ambient temperature and gravity flow only

Application Overview

This cap is commonly used to seal stub-outs, terminate unused pipe branches, or provide test points during DWV rough-in and final inspection. Suitable for use in residential, commercial, and institutional drainage installations. Can be removed with a saw if access or pipe extension is later required.

Installation Guidelines

Prepare mating surfaces using an ABS cleaner. Apply approved ABS solvent cement per manufacturer instructions. Insert the pipe fully into the hub and rotate 1/4 turn to distribute adhesive evenly. Hold in place to allow curing. Do not apply excessive force after installation to avoid joint disruption.

Regulatory Note

This fitting is not approved for pressurized systems or potable water use. Always verify code compliance and approved material standards with the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) before specifying for project use.
