Description
The 160mm pipe cap temporary drainage cap is a simple, reusable yellow cap for temporarily covering open 160mm underground drainage pipe ends during installation, alteration, repair or maintenance work.
When drainage pipework is being installed on site, open pipe ends can quickly collect loose soil, stones, dust, rainwater and general site debris. This temporary cap helps keep the pipe end covered while work continues, reducing the risk of unwanted blockages or contamination before the drainage system is fully connected and tested.
The bright yellow colour makes the cap easy to spot in trenches, on site and around stored pipework. This is useful for groundworkers, builders, landscapers, drainage installers and maintenance teams working with larger 160mm underground drainage systems.
160mm Pipe Cap for Temporary Drainage Protection
This 160mm pipe cap is intended for temporary protection of 160mm underground drainage pipework. It is useful when a drainage run needs to be left open for a short period, when a pipe end needs covering overnight, or when works are being completed in stages.
It is not designed as a permanent sealed drainage fitting. For final installation, always use the correct permanent underground drainage fitting, access cap, end cap or connection specified for the system. This temporary cap is best used as a short-term site protection accessory.

160mm Pipe Cap for Groundwork and Site Use
The 160mm pipe cap is a useful low-cost site accessory for anyone working with larger underground drainage systems. It helps keep pipework protected between stages of the job, especially when trenches are still open or fittings have not yet been installed.
It can be used when setting out 160mm drainage pipe runs, preparing connections, working around inspection chambers, or extending existing underground drainage. Keeping pipe ends covered during the job helps maintain a cleaner installation and can save time by reducing the need to clear debris from pipework before final connection.
