July 24, 20224 yr Hi, I have inherited this kitchen tap and the problem I have I don't know how to terminate this 3rd "filtered water" pipe. https://i.ibb.co/J3J8Rcf/brita-filter.jpg If I use a tap adapter/aerator then water leaks through it from the tap. Please advise.
July 24, 20224 yr Find out what size it is and buy a blank plug. This is a random example for an 8mm plug https://www.ebay.co.uk/p/2211717247
July 24, 20224 yr Author from my measurement it looks like it is 4.3mm wide so I reckon I need like 5mm plug.

July 25, 20224 yr if it's 8mm pipe, then either an 8mm stop end for the pipe or a plug for the pushfit. If in doubt, remove the pushfit installed for a closer look at it, just in case an 8-6 reducer has been fitted. It's definitely metric tho, as imperial JG fittings are beige.

In this case it's a straight couple connected to the pipe, so the plug required will be the OD of the pipe. If you can uncouple the straight coupling (push the end in and it should release the barb) then take the fitting with you to get the right sized plug.
