Hi All,

IMG_20210824_201843_389~3.jpg


I've recently removed my dishwasher and I want to remove the dishwasher water supply pipe highlighted in the picture in yellow. Is it possible to get a screw fit end cap (should be 15mm) for the point highlighted in red? Or will I need to replace the whole connector highlighted in blue with a straight connector?

Thanks in advance

No you can’t get a threaded fitting for that. Options are:
  • Fit a push fit stop end with an insert as close to the tee as possible (water regulations is no more than twice the pipe diameter)
  • fit a compression stop end with an insert (same water reg applies)
  • remove tee and fit a coupling, however please note the pipe may be slightly shorter in length to achieve this.

Great! Thank you. Seems like cutting the pipe and putting a stopend on is the easiest option.

Would this be OK for use long term? If so it could be an easier option as I wouldn't have to cut the pipe.

Pushing the peg in is as sound as pushing a piece of 15mm pipe in. Hi as ric says usually it's best to use the same manufacturer on fitting and pipe but as a DIY job on your own home I'd go for it - afaik hep are the only manufacturers of a blanking peg.
