It blocks the opening. Water cannot escape. Every drop stays inside the hose and flows to your drippers or sprinklers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWithout an end cap, water pours out the far end. Your pressure drops. Crops near the end get almost no water. The cap fixes that.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhere You Use It\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYou run a layflat mainline from your pump to the far side of your field. At the far end, you need to seal the line. Push on an end cap. Water stops at the cap and feeds all the outlets along the way.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYou might also use an end cap on a branch line that you are not using yet. Cap it off. Later, when you need that branch, remove the cap and attach more hose.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInstallation\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCut the hose end square. Use a sharp knife. A crooked cut can make the cap hard to push on.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIf the hose is stiff, warm the end in the sun for 10 minutes. Soft hose is easier to work with.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePush the cap onto the hose end. Push until it bottoms out. That is about 20 to 30mm of hose inside the cap. No glue, no clamps, no threads.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTo remove, twist the cap while pulling. You can reuse it many times.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat If It Falls Off\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIf the cap feels loose, the hose may be out of round. Cut off a small piece of hose and try again. If it still feels loose, add a small hose clamp over the cap. Our Steel Clamp Jubilee Type works.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBut for normal layflat pressures, the cap should stay on by friction alone.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSizes We Stock\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e50mm, 63mm, and 90mm.
