Good afternoon everyone,
I'm finishing up some DIY work in our bathroom and two waste pipe connectors to the cast iron soil pipe are not going to be used anymore so I need to close them off. As flush with the pipe as possible, since I'll need to box around it.
I'm unfamiliar with the correct plumbing terms, so just to make sure that it's clear what I'm talking about: I'm seeing a rectangular lid that's bolted to the soil pipe. There are two threaded waste pipe fittings on this lid with coupling nuts. One piece of waste pipe at the bottom is still connected, the one at the top I was able to take off.
Unfortunately, I'm not able to find any parts that fit on these threads. And I haven't even tried taking off the rectangular door part off since I wouldn't be able to find a replacement for that anyway (although I could make one I guess).
I bought a McAlpine 1 1/4" compression stop end, thinking that since 1 1/4 inch is 31.75mm, surely the cap won't be too large like the other caps that I still had. But it's too large! How is it possible that a cap for a 31.75mm pipe would be too large for a 34.7mm opening!
Any advice on closing/capping/sealing off these fittings? It's fine if it's permanent.
