What is upvc End Cap 3″ GM ?

 

Description

An UPVC End Cap 3″ GM is a pipe fitting used to close the end of a UPVC (Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride) pipe. It provides a sealed termination point, preventing the flow of fluids or gases beyond the pipe’s end. The GM designation indicates a Gasket Male connection type, suitable for secure, leak-proof connections in plumbing and piping systems.
