Hi if you're happy to leave the bottom 90 degree elbow in place it should simply be a case of screwing on a blank end (check the size of the pipework first) .

Something like this.......

Thanks for this; wouldn't the blank cap without the screw/nut be better?

It is the bottom 90 degree elbow that I want to detach from the main pipe.

I think 32/40 and 50mm can connect to it (don't know what size is connecting on the picture.

Thanks

Yes you're right it probably would. I'm off to Specsavers.

Thank you for posting the link though; think it will solve my problem.

Have a good one

Looking a bit closer, the blank cap is meant to be used inside other fittings so you'll still need to insert it into a screwed connector, either a straight or an elbow.

I don't know whether anyone here would recommend using it with an adhesive instead.

I've managed to find the size of the outer pipe, it's 7cm!

Right, the question is to find a blank 7cm end cap, any know which online supplier will have is?

Tried the link Jack gave me but that cap is too small at 1.25" inch

Thanks

You wont find anything to fit over the boss connection. Only method would be to remove the pipework and fit a access cap, maybe advisable to replace boss adaptor (rubber insert) at the same time.
