These PVC drainage pipe end caps with integrated net vent solve that problem by sealing the pipe end while allowing controlled airflow, keeping your drainage stack balanced and odor-free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach cap is molded from rigid PVC and fits standard drainage pipe outer diameters of 50mm (~2 in), 75mm (~3 in), 110mm (~4.3 in), and 160mm (~6.3 in). The push-fit socket design provides a secure friction fit, while the built-in mesh net prevents insects and debris from entering the pipe bore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTypical applications include capping the top of soil vent pipes on residential rooftops, terminating underground drainage runs during construction, sealing unused branch inlets on inspection chambers, and protecting pipe ends during storage or transport on job sites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"hdiy-compat\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"hdiy-compat-icon\"\u003e🔗\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Designed for standard PVC and uPVC drainage pipe systems.

Its purpose is to allow passive airflow (which prevents siphonage and pressure buildup in the drainage stack) while blocking insects, debris, and rodents. Sewer gas is managed by the ventilation airflow itself — the open vent stack allows gases to disperse safely above roof level rather than accumulating.

The breathable net vent design is intended for terminal (open-air) applications. If you need to seal an unused branch inlet inside a drainage run where airflow is not desired, a solid push-fit stop end or blanking cap would be more appropriate. For above-ground unused inlets where some ventilation is acceptable, this cap works well as a temporary or semi-permanent solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eHow do I clean the mesh screen if it becomes blocked?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"hdiy-faq-body\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cap can be removed by hand or with light leverage using a flat tool.
