2 inch PVC Schedule 40 Cap

2" PVC Schedule 40 Cap – Slip End Termination for Non-Pressurized DWV Systems

The 2" PVC Schedule 40 Cap is a solvent-weld fitting designed to terminate or seal off the end of a PVC piping system. Manufactured from rigid polyvinyl chloride (PVC), this cap features a slip socket connection that allows for a permanent seal when installed with appropriate primer and solvent cement.

Engineered for use in gravity-flow applications, such as drainage, waste, and vent (DWV) systems, the cap is molded to ASTM specifications to ensure dimensional accuracy, system compatibility, and long-term performance in above-ground or underground settings.

Key Features for Field Applications

• ✅ Schedule 40 Rated – Manufactured to conform with standard pipe wall requirements for residential and commercial installations.
• ✅ Slip Socket End – Accepts 2" nominal-size Schedule 40 PVC pipe for solvent weld assembly.
• ✅ Corrosion Resistant – Inert to a wide range of chemicals, wastewater, and soil conditions.
• ✅ Sealing Integrity – Compatible with solvent cement systems for watertight joints in non-pressurized systems.
• ✅ Code Compliant – Designed to meet IPC, UPC, and ASTM D2665/D1784 standards where applicable.

Installation Notes

To install, ensure that both the pipe and fitting surfaces are properly cleaned and primed. Apply solvent cement according to the manufacturer's instructions, then insert the pipe fully into the fitting until it bottoms out at the stop. Hold in place briefly to prevent pushback. Cure time will vary based on temperature and humidity. Not intended for pressurized fluid systems unless specifically rated and certified for such use.

Typical Applications

Used to seal the end of a run in DWV systems, this cap is commonly applied in cleanouts, line testing, system terminations, or as a temporary block-off during construction. Suitable for both horizontal and vertical orientations.

Code and Regulatory Notes

This fitting complies with lead-free requirements and can be installed in systems subject to national model plumbing codes. Always verify local code acceptance before installation, especially when used in systems subject to inspection.
