Blanking cap for washing machine waste trap

[pandaman]

Does anybody know where I can get a threaded blanking cap that is 50mm between the threads? I can only find 32mm ones. The 40mm spigot connector fits on my undersink pipework but need a blanking cap in case I have to disconnect the washer.

Replace with a sealed hose connector. FloPlast Hose Connector 40mm | Traps | Screwfix.com

I have just fitted a new one of those fro m screwfix but it is open at the spigot end. Surely someone must make a blanking cap that size. Thanks for posting.

Use this https://www.theespressoshop.co.uk/M...tm_medium=shopping&utm_campaign=UnitedKingdom, trap it with the threaded ring you already have. Or cut the bottom out of a Coke bottle, it only has tiny pressure to withstand.

i have cut some plastic before and fitted into that type of connector
can not remember what i used , probably a bottle - but thicker plastic back in 2000's when i had to do that - but it was reasonably thick, stiff bit of plastic , i trimmed to fit
maybe that will work ?

Thanks people, 2 great suggestions. Will try one or the other.

Get an appliance spigot blank for it, goes inside or can fit over the end too.

Thanks, did not know of them. Another one to consider.

Always thought spares came with a blanking cap, you buy a spare wither as existing is missing, cut to far down to reuse or you need to blank off one thats been opened. Sorry I wasn't much use!
