Stub-out configuration for plumbing assembly

A method of using a plumbing stub portion in a plumbing system, comprising:

• connecting a terminal portion of a conduit in the plumbing system to a fluid source;
• supporting the terminal portion of the conduit;
• and
• installing the stub assembly on the terminal portion of the conduit;
• wherein the stub assembly comprises a pipe having a medial portion disposed between a first end and a second end, and an end cap over-molded onto the first end of the pipe, and
• wherein the end cap has an inner diameter configured to fit over an outer diameter of the pipe such that the end cap seals the first end of the pipe.

An installation for a plumbing system for a rough plumbing construction, comprising:

• a tubular assembly including
• a flexible tubular member having a first end and a second end;
• and
• a sealing portion encasing at least the first end of the tubular member such that the sealing portion isolates an outer diameter portion of the first end of the tubular member from an external environment;
• and
• a fixation piece having a first end portion configured to attach to the second end of the tubular member, and a second end portion configured to attach to the plumbing system.

A method of making a plumbing component, comprising:

• inserting a first end of a flexible tubular member into a mold;
• molding an end cap over the first end of the tubular member to seal the first end of the tubular member;
• inserting a second end of the tubular member into the mold;
• and
• connecting a fitting to the second end of the tubular member, wherein the fitting is structured to attach to a fluid conduit to communicate the fluid conduit with the second end of the tubular member.
