Insert a grip-ring stem caster or attach a threaded caster into the Caster Pipe Cap, then press in place over the end of a 1-1/4" PVC pipe. Additionally, these caster pipe caps can be placed at two ends of a pipe and a steel rod can be inserted to create an axle.

Designed to allow a perpendicular connection between two PVC pipes of identical size, these adapters eliminate the need for cutting the original pipe. You can achieve a secure connection using fasteners like screws through a small hole in the fishmouth or using PVC cement. Fishmouth fitting adapters also provide additional support for propping up PVC pipes in your projects or serving as a pipe rest when needed.
