H F Posted November 6, 2019 Posted November 6, 2019 I want to remove our shower today - how do I cap the pipes that come out? They are copper pipes.
Conor Posted November 6, 2019 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
PeterW Posted November 6, 2019 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
JFDIY Posted November 6, 2019 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.
H F Posted November 7, 2019 Author Posted November 7, 2019 Pipes have been capped and bathroom is just about fully dismantled. Phew. 1
