SharkBite UIP28 IPS PVC Pipe Cap Fitting

SharkBite UIP28 IPS PVC Pipe Cap Fitting

The SharkBite UIP28 is an IPS-sized PVC pipe cap engineered for capping off the end of a PVC pipe run during rough-in plumbing work, pressure testing, or line abandonment. Sized to IPS (iron pipe size) standards, this fitting family is available in trade sizes from 1/2-in through 3/4-in, and each cap slips over the matching PVC pipe for a solvent-weld connection, giving contractors and plumbers a fast, reliable way to seal a line before final fixture hookup or during a phased installation. It ships packaged 6 each per unit, making it a practical stock item for trucks and shops that regularly close out PVC branch lines on residential and light commercial jobs. Whether you're closing off a stubbed branch, pressure-testing a fresh DWV or supply run, or simply mothballing a line for later use, the UIP28 gives you a properly sized, code-familiar PVC cap in the size your job calls for.

Key Features

• Trade Size Range: Available in 1/2-in through 3/4-in IPS sizing for a proper fit on standard PVC pipe used throughout rough-in DWV and pressure applications.
• Durable Construction: Molded PVC material resists corrosion and is compatible with standard PVC solvent-weld installation practices common on jobsites.
• End Cap Function: Slip-style cap seals the open end of a PVC pipe run, useful for pressure testing, temporary capping, or permanently terminating a line.
• Convenient Packaging: Supplied 6 each per pack, giving plumbers enough on-hand stock to cap multiple lines on a single job without reordering mid-project.
• Lightweight Profile: Compact PVC cap adds minimal bulk behind walls or under slabs, simplifying storage in a service truck or supply room.
• Solvent-Weld Ready: Slip fit accepts standard PVC cement for a permanent, pressure-rated seal once solvent-welded to the pipe end.
