Capping off / bunging radiator valves

[Stormflex]

Can anyone give me any pointers on capping off or bunging up radiator valves. I have to remove two radiators and leave them off for a week whilst on holiday. The decorator suggested to me that I can buy some form of cap - from the way he described it they have a thread on so that they can screw into the valve to stop drips/leaks.

I've hunted around online but so far I've found nothing. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Cheers

Just close the valves down.

Correct, but there's always that incessant drip. I want a back-up to ensure I don't come home to puddles.

Then the washmac hoses will fit

Either a half inch cap or a 3/4 cap will do it . bit of ptfe ,picture of valve would help for corect size
