Yeah it is fine, and the endcap socket will need an ID (inside diameter) of 75mm too. Your cap will probably have a thread of 3"?

John Bunsesnburner - absolutely. If the stuff you need isn't available in switzerland, then I see no reason not to email and ask! I imagine that hendersons would be more than happy to sort something out for you, but I can't imagine the postage would be cheap :O

Ok I have another quick question. The spigot reducers at hendersons are marked like this:

Spigot/Socket x socket
75/63 x 40mm

Would the above work for 40mm to 75mm pipe? I assume I could use a 75mm coupling to joing the spigot and 75mm pipe then just slot the 40mm pipe in the other socket end?

I would use TRS but their prices are more expensive and postage is a tenner!

Yeah, that's right.
Postage is more expensive on TRS but I thought general prices were a little cheaper?
Still I have sent you a PM

Sorry Biopyro but I bought the parts before checking your PM. Havnt checked here in a while.

My Kiowa order should be shipping tomorrow and my Hendersons order shipped today.

I know Kiowa is next day delivery, what method does Hendersons use to ship their pipe fittings?

No problem, I won't be working on that project for a while anyway :)
In my experience they have always been super quick, usually next day or the day after, so it should be with you tommorow or wednesday.
