EZY-CAPs are classed as temporary fitting and therefore do not require testing or registration by the relevant authorities. However, private tests have shown that approximately 19 Mega Pascals are needed to make an EZY-CAP, attached to a standard Australian "Lugged Elbow", fail. The test pressure for permanent fittings is 2 Mega Pascals. In view of this, we consider it virtually impossible for an EZY-CAP to "blow off" in a normal sanitary application since water pressure rarely exceeds 1 Mega Pascal. If leakage occurs, it is usually due to inappropriate use (i.e. attached to a lugged elbow cut off not square). Ezy-Cap (and Ezy-Plug) are manufactured from industrial grade natural nylon, and are made in our Sunshine manufacturing plant and available at leading plumbing suppliers Australia-wide. Please ask for them by name.

Happy plumbing!
