Question 10

How does this 1/2 inch GI Stopper compare with other 1/2 inch stoppers on Fepy?

Accepted Answer

For alternatives, you can consider the following 1/2 inch stoppers on Fepy: Brass stopper (https://fepy.com/product/brass-stopper-1-2-inch), PVC stopper (https://fepy.com/product/pvc-stopper-1-2-inch), and Stainless steel stopper (https://fepy.com/product/stainless-steel-stopper-1-2-inch). The brass option may offer different material resilience, the PVC version is typically lighter and suited for certain plastics systems, and the stainless option provides enhanced corrosion resistance in more demanding environments.

Question 11

How should I measure to ensure compatibility if I’m unsure about the pipe size?

Accepted Answer

Measure the pipe’s nominal size (the designation like 1/2 inch) and the actual outer diameter. When in doubt, compare the pipe’s interior bore and threading (if any) to the stopper’s seating area, ensuring a snug, leak-proof fit.

Question 12

What maintenance or care does it require after installation?

Accepted Answer

Keep the seal area clean to prevent debris from compromising the seal. Periodically inspect for corrosion or wear, and replace the stopper if you notice leaks or corrosion beyond normal wear.
