Description
PVC DWV Cap (HUB)
PVC DWV Cap (HUB) provides an end closure for compatible PVC drain, waste, and vent piping. The hub connection receives appropriately sized compatible PVC DWV pipe to terminate the selected piping run or branch.
The hub cap configuration provides a compact closure at the end of a compatible PVC DWV piping section. Selection should account for nominal size, adjoining pipe, joining requirements, piping alignment, support, accessibility, and the intended closure location.

Cap Design
The cap configuration provides a simple end closure for compatible PVC DWV piping. It can be installed where a piping run or branch requires termination at the selected location.
The cap should be selected to match the nominal size of the adjoining PVC DWV pipe. Planning the closure point helps coordinate pipe length, nearby fittings, piping support, and available working clearance.
Hub Connection
The hub connection receives appropriately sized compatible PVC DWV pipe. The pipe and hub should be checked before permanent assembly to confirm the correct nominal size and proper fit.
The mating pipe and hub surfaces should be prepared using the appropriate PVC DWV joining procedure. Compatible joining materials, proper insertion, and careful alignment help establish the end closure without unnecessary stress on the fitting.
PVC DWV Integration
The PVC DWV construction allows the cap to integrate into compatible drain, waste, and vent piping arrangements requiring an end closure. Matching the nominal size and hub interface to the adjoining PVC pipe helps maintain the intended piping configuration.
Application suitability should be evaluated using the requirements of the complete DWV system. Adjoining materials, connection compatibility, joining materials, piping support, accessibility, and local installation requirements should all be considered during cap selection.
End Closure Application
A PVC DWV Cap provides a compact way to terminate a compatible PVC piping run or branch. The hub-style connection allows the cap to join directly to the corresponding pipe size using the applicable joining procedure.
Installation planning should consider the closure location, pipe insertion, nearby components, available clearance, and piping support. The adjoining pipe should align naturally so the cap is not relied upon to correct offsets or support improperly positioned piping.
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Confirm the nominal size.
- Verify the HUB connection.
- Check PVC DWV compatibility.
- Confirm the intended closure location.
- Match the cap to the adjoining pipe.
Our PVC fitting specialists can help review your nominal size, DWV requirements, hub connection, adjoining PVC pipe, intended closure location, joining requirements, piping alignment, support requirements, and available installation clearance before you order.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a PVC DWV Cap used for?
It provides an end closure for a compatible PVC drain, waste, or vent pipe section.
What does HUB mean?
HUB identifies a receiving connection designed for appropriately sized compatible PVC DWV pipe.
What connects to the cap?
