Hi all
The plumber let me down just before my kitchen install so I had to extend the plumbing myself (or face even further delay with the install, which I just cannot afford). In short, I started off with a DW on one side of the kitchen, fed by a single cold water feed with a single 40mm waste pipe. The waste pipe ran horizontally but was capped at the end with a sort-of screw-on cap thing. The DW waste was attached to the pipe with a self-cutting waste.
I needed to extend this to add a WM along the same wall. I have sorted out the cold water feed plumbing OK, but I'm really struggling with the waste. I assumed that I'd have to have a U-bend somewhere in the waste pipe (there was none previously) so I fitted this:

The problem is, there is no sink on that side of the kitchen. If I turn the DW on, the water just spews out of the top hole, which I assume is supposed to accommodate a sink. No problem, I thought: I'll just find a plug for it. But I can't. In hindsight it looks like I bought the wrong bit of kit, but as it is all plumbed in now and the kitchen units are installed, is there an easy fix here? Surely there is an additional piece I can buy that simply allows me to cap off the open main hole?
Thanks in advance - I'm out of clean clothes and dishes, so it's starting to get a bit urgent!
