Hayden 2-Inch PVC Pipe Cap ...

Product details
Part 765547W is Hayden's plastic pipe cap, made to seal off the open end of a central vacuum pipe measuring 2 inches on the outside diameter. It is a simple part with a specific job: close a run so it stays airtight and clean until it is either put into service or extended later.
Capped stubs show up in a few common situations. A homeowner may plan to add an inlet in an unfinished area later and wants the trunk line ready and sealed in the meantime. A renovation might abandon one branch of the system while the rest stays in service, and that branch has to be capped so it does not leak air and rob suction from every other inlet on the line. New construction sometimes runs pipe to a room that will not get its inlet valve until a later phase.
Whatever the reason for the cap, an unsealed pipe end left open to the wall cavity acts exactly like a crack in the system: air rushes in at that point instead of at the hose, and the power unit ends up working against a leak instead of cleaning. Cementing a cap over the open end closes that gap completely.
This is a generic fitting sized to fit standard central vacuum PVC pipe of that same outside diameter, so it pairs with the pipe already run in the wall rather than one specific power unit brand. Keep a couple on hand during any central vacuum project; it is common to discover a stub that needs capping only after the rest of the run is already committed.
