Actual Dimensions of Inner Dome Cap
Why is are PVC fitting sockets bigger than their named size?
PVC sizes get their name from the inner diameter of the PVC pipe as they are nominal, or 'in name only'. If you add the thickness of the wall on each side of the pipe, the outside diameter of the PVC pipe will always be larger that the actual PVC size.
What will this Internal Dome Cap fit?

How to Use Internal PVC Dome Caps
When to use PVC Dome Caps
Furniture Grade PVC Dome Caps are primarily used to clean up the ends of PVC pipe segments so they have a smooth, finished appearance. Pipe segments that are topped with a Dome Cap can still be inserted into PVC fittings to create a blocked off pipe segment.
Insert the Dome PVC Cap into the Pipe
Pipe segments should be cut to a perfect 90 degree angle for a seamless look. Align the PVC pipe with the dome cap and press it into place onto the pipe. If preferred, you can use clear PVC cement for a secure and permanent fit: Apply a small amount inside of the PVC pipe before insertion.
Tap into Place until Fully Seated
Tap the Dome Cap onto the end of the PVC pipe until it is fully seated over the pipe. The dome cap should adjust to minor variances in the inside diameter for the PVC pipe. You can then use the Dome Cap segment in your PVC project or build.
