We have had a new kitchen fitted by the council and when they moved the sink they left the old pipe going through the wall, so instead of cutting the pipe off can i buy some sort of end cap to block off the hole for now as i was thinking of using the pipe to try and connect something to it so i can connect the washing machine to it so i don't have to use the one on the sink. I went to b&q to see if they sold anything to block the pipe off and the sold me a 40mm access cap which does not even fit the hole so i will be taking that back.
Can you buy end caps for 40mm pipe

Shove a plastic bag in it and tape over the end?
The cap will be the same outside diameter as the pipe so you have to put a straight coupler on the pipe and push the cap into that.

Need to ascertain whether is it pushfit or solvent weld first.

Obviously, but whatever he gets will be better than a plastic bag and a bit of tape.

Depends on the quality of the bag and the tape. Sainsbury's bags are much better than morrisons. And don't get me going on tape...
It's a temporary fix, so I wouldnt' bother too much to make it look proper.

Why botch it when you can do it right for a couple of quid?
Sticky tape and plastic bags perish, leak...
eg McAlpine T28M + T23M

For heaven's sake, it's a dry pipe left on the inside of the building which he hopes to utilise in the future. Why waste any money on it?
