Do you guys bother covering the ends?

Years ago we ran a 1" poly line in a trench. When we went to turn the water on the check on the tank tee clogged. It was three dead mice. VOMIT.

After that my boss became very strict about taping the ends of coil pipe.

I tape the ends sometimes, most of the time I don’t.

I mostly use 1/2” and 3/4”, I buy it as I need it. If I store it, I’ll tape the ends to keep the crud out.

I mostly dont cap the ends,,but 150 psi of air blows out anything hiding in the coil before putting it on the truck..

the only coiled pipe i buy is 1" cts for city water service for new houses. the extra is always taped for capping in the trench. usually lays on a pile, 30 foot or so pieces and after awhile gets tossed.
