the end caps are called test caps, used for leak testing new pipe installations. they're usually white and home depot has them. only downside is they have to be glued in place so they're not removable..
What are the end caps? I'd like to make a simple double tap tower, but I don't want to use the big dorky end cap that go around the outside of the pipe..i want the internal ones like you used..

Hey there,
Excellent work on the tower. I am looking to do something similar with 3" or 4" diameter iron pipe. I noticed that you mentioned cutting an access hole in the back to make the plumbing easier. Do you think you could have gotten by without that? Just wondering, as I am not sure how I would tackle this issue with the iron pipe if a hole would need to be cut.
Thanks,

Thanks for the reply. It sounds like unless I could get an open wrench in the pipe this wouldn't work. It will actually be black steel pipe, but agree cutting a hole will be a pain. I'm guessing I will probably have to get it plasma cut or something.
I'm trying to replicate something like this:

It looks like they might have cut out a big whole in the front, and then mounted them to a separate plate that they attached...
And most of my beer plumbing / faucets are arriving today, so I want to start figuring out how I am going to create my tower.
Thanks for the help!

Just wondering if you are concerned that this isn't insulated at all?
