The PVC-Lock End Cap is the smartest way to terminate a sprinkler mainline or zone. Unlike glued caps that are permanent, this push-to-connect fitting seals the line securely but allows for future expansion. If you decide to add more sprinklers later, simply use a removal tool to pop the cap off and continue the run. It is one of the most versatile irrigation fittings for phased installation projects or temporary line closures.
Installation is effortless: just ensure your pipe end is cut square with a PVC Pipe Cutter, chamfer the edge, and push it on. The internal stainless steel retainer ring grips the pipe immediately, while the EPDM O-ring creates a watertight seal rated up to 150 PSI—no primer or glue required.

Secure your line end in seconds.
Step 1: Clean Cut
Cut the end of your PVC pipe clean and square. Avoid using hacksaws as they leave rough burrs that can damage the seal.
Step 2: Chamfer
Use the PVC-Lock Bevel Tool or sandpaper to create a smooth outer edge on the pipe. This helps it glide past the internal O-ring.
Step 3: Mark and Push
Mark the insertion depth on the pipe (approx. 1 inch). Push the cap firmly onto the pipe until it hits the internal stop and locks in place.
Step 4: Verify
Pull back gently on the cap to ensure the stainless steel teeth have engaged. The connection is now ready for water pressure.
