I am having a new shower fitted with a pumped shower sited in the loft. The old shower was fed by hot and cold pipes directly from the loft tanks via standard gravity system. My plumber has used plastic stoppers to block the old pipes. Is this a safe and durable method? Or should these pipes be blocked if in a different / more permanent way (perhaps welded shut)?
Clearly these stoppers need to have a life span of decades - but will they last that long?
Thanks for any advice.
