What Is a Push Fit Cap?
A push fit cap is an end-of-line plumbing fitting designed to close compatible tubing without requiring a threaded, soldered, or glued connection. Properly prepared tubing is inserted directly into the Charman push-fit connection to create the capped termination.
Push fit caps are useful when terminating a piping run, completing a plumbing layout, or closing a compatible line during a repair or system modification. The compact design helps provide a clean termination without adding unnecessary fittings.
