Features

This genuine McAlpine appliance waste pipe stop end cap is a universal solution for capping off redundant standpipes. It features a specialized internal Multifit rubber seal. Consequently, this white polypropylene cap securely fits plain-ended plastic pipes measuring 40mm, 42mm, or 43mm in diameter. Thus, it is the perfect fitting for sealing off old washing machine or dishwasher drain lines permanently or temporarily.

Details

Removing a washing machine or disconnecting a dishwasher leaves a raw, open standpipe behind your kitchen cabinets. Unfortunately, an open drain pipe will vent dangerous, foul-smelling sewer gases directly into your living spaces. Furthermore, if a blockage occurs down the drainage system, wastewater can back up and flood out onto your floor. Trying to find a matching cap is tricky because appliance waste pipes vary across different brands between 40mm and 43mm. Therefore, standard single-size solvent sockets will often fail to slide on or leak around the rim.

Fortunately, this genuine McAlpine appliance waste pipe stop end cap resolves these varying standpipe dimensions completely. Thanks to its multi-layered rubber gasket, the cap naturally self-adjusts to wrap around any plastic pipe between 40mm and 43mm. Thus, you do not need to know the exact brand of your existing pipework. Instead, simply slide the cap onto the raw pipe end and hand-tighten the ridged nut. Consequently, it compresses the internal ring to create an immediate, airtight seal that locks out leaks without messy glues.
