H F Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 I want to remove our shower today - how do I cap the pipes that come out? They are copper pipes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conor Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 If it's just copper pipe tails, then15mm push fit end caps / stop ends. It's worth having a bag of them anyway, really handy when your doing your first for and want to test sections of pipes. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterW Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 As said- Hep2O push fit end caps, but will only fit on clean cut pipe that has been cut with a pipe slice. Invest in a 15 and 22mm one of each and they are invaluable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFDIY Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 If it's got compression fittings on the back then you can undo them and screw a compression blank onto the original nut and olive, or even fit isolator valves to the same nut etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
