Compatibility & Use Cases

This end plug works with common 1/4″ OD misting tubing. Match the tubing and all fittings to your system’s pressure rating.

Care & Maintenance

For seasonal shutdowns, depressurize the line and remove the plug. Store it clean and dry. In spring, inspect the tube end for wear, cut a fresh end if needed, and re-seat the plug before testing.

Troubleshooting

  • Slow drip at the plug: Depressurize, remove, cut the tube square, clean, and re-seat fully.
  • Difficult removal: Hold the release collar (if present) while pulling the tube straight out.
  • Pressure drop at end of run: Check upstream filter, pump output, and nozzle cleanliness before replacing parts.
  • Tubing won’t seat: Inspect for oval or scratched ends. Recut and try again.

Installation Overview

Prepare the tube end, push the plug on until fully seated, then test at normal pressure. Re-seat if you see any drip.

Preparation

Cut Tubing Square

Use a sharp tube cutter to make a clean, square cut. A square cut helps the seal seat evenly.

Deburr & Clean Ends

Remove burrs and wipe the tube end. Keep the surface round, smooth, and free of dust.


Install

Push to Full Seat

Insert the tube straight into the end plug until it stops. A firm push is needed to pass the internal grip and seal.

Pull Test to Confirm Grip

Gently pull back on the tube. It should not come out. If it moves, push further to seat fully.

Secure Nearby Tubing

Add a nearby mount or clip to remove strain on the plug. This keeps the cap steady under load.


Pressure Test

Bring System to Operating Pressure

Start the pump and reach normal pressure. Watch the plug and nearby joints.

Inspect for Leaks & Re-seat if Needed

If you see a drip, depressurize, remove the tube, recut square, and reinstall. Test again.
