Hi
I need to remove a branch from both my hot and cold supply (old washing machine location)
The branch uses compression fittings, so it's awkward to cut back past the olive and solder in a new section of pipe, especially as the location isn't easy access for a blow torch.
Can the branch simply be capped off? Could a 3/4" manifold cap be used to cap off the removed leg? Or is it different sized thread or is there another reason to not do this?
