How to seal dishwasher connector

Zed110 · 25 May 2017

Hi. Not long moved into a property where the previous owners had a dishwasher connected to the pipework under the sink. I don't have a dishwasher so the connector is now not connected to anything so when I run water down the sink it comes out of the connector. I attach a photo to show this. Is there something I can buy to cap this? Or can I unscrew this and buy something to then add in its place to cap it? I've taken a look online and in B&Q but can't see anything....

Thank you.

quick solution ,apply silicone to the open end ,half inch deep. you can get blanking caps ,but each manufacturers is different size / thread etc. I can't tell from photo which yours is. others may do.

That tee is the wrong way round too

Turning that round would certainly help!

@Zed110 if you cut the spigot off just before the threaded section a 3/4" blanking cap will screw on. You'll need some PTFE to seal it

Would an elbow replace the Tee?

you might need the spigot in the future.
