Raindrip Compression End Plug - 1/2in

Compression End Plug with Flush Cap for 1/2in Poly Hose

Ending a 1/2in poly hose run cleanly takes more than a simple cap if you might need to flush the line or extend it later. Raindrip's compression end plug seals the hose end securely while adding a removable 3/4in cap underneath, so the same fitting that closes the line today can be reopened for flushing or an extension down the road.

It's color coded green for at-a-glance size identification, matching Raindrip's broader compression fitting system used across 1/2in supply hose installations.

Key Features & Benefits

• Compression end plug — seals the open end of 1/2in poly hose for a clean, leak-free termination.

Who Should Use This

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 3/4in cap included for?

The 3/4in cap covers the end of the plug and can be removed to flush the system or attach additional tubing to expand your irrigation layout later. Flushing periodically through this cap helps clear sediment that settles at the low point of a mainline run.

How do I install this end plug?

The compression design presses onto the hose end by hand; soaking stiff tubing in warm water beforehand can make it easier to seat. Warm water briefly softens the poly hose, so it slides onto the fitting with less force.

What tubing size does this end plug fit?

This compression end plug is designed for 1/2in polyethylene drip supply hose. Check your hose's outer diameter against this sizing before ordering to avoid a loose or overly tight fit.

Can I use this to temporarily close a line I plan to extend later?

Yes, the included removable cap makes this end plug well suited to temporarily closing a line end that you intend to extend or branch at a later stage. That flexibility saves a trip to reorder fittings when a garden layout expands mid-season.
