Claim:
A threaded plumbing end cap in combination with a length of pipe, the plumbing end cap comprising a base, the base having two surfaces comprising an inner surface and an outer surface, a continuous side surface attached to the inner surface of the base, means for attaching the plumbing end cap to the length of pipe comprising a plurality of external threads located on the length of pipe, a plurality of internal threads located on the continuous side surface, wherein the plurality of external threads located on the length of pipe can be threadably attached to the plurality of internal threads located on the continuous side surface, an adjustable band placed around the continuous side surface, wherein the continuous side surface is slide over the length of pipe, further wherein the adjustable band is tightened, a plurality of external threads located on the length of pipe, means for releasing any extra air within the length of pipe once the plumbing end cap is attached to the length of pipe comprising: a hole located on the base, a valve stem inserted into the hole located on the base comprising an outer casing, the outer casing being attached to the base, an inner set block located within the outer casing, the inner set block including a hole, a primary compartment located within the outer casing, the primary compartment being contiguous with the area within the length of pipe, an inner base located within the primary compartment, the inner base normally being flush against the inner set block, a cylindrical stem having two ends comprising an inner end and an outer end, the inner end of the cylindrical stem being connected to the inner base, the outer end of the cylindrical stem slightly extending outside the outer casing, a spring compartment located within the outer casing, and a spring located within the spring compartment, the spring being attached to the cylindrical stem, at least one air outlet hole located on the inner end of the cylindrical stem, wherein the air outlet hole is normally located within the hole located in the inner base within the valve stem, and wherein the cylindrical stem may be manually pushed inwardly to allow the air outlet hole to enter the primary chamber comprising a large amount of air pressure within the length of pipe, wherein said pushing causes the inner base to push away slightly from the set block, thereby allowing the air outlet hole to enter the primary chamber, wherein the valve stem releases any extra air within the length of pipe once pressure within the length of pipe reaches a specific level.
