Hello,
I have a house from 1883 and I am trying to convert a bathroom back into a walk-in closet. The house was built before plumbing and when plumbing was installed they turned an existing closet into a full bathroom. Since we converted a small bedroom into a bathroom and plan to turn the old bathroom back into a closet. We ran new piping to new bathroom and the project was completed in March.
Now I am trying to decipher the existing labyrinth of piping that runs from the basement to the second floor and then splits between a parlor sink in one bedroom and the old bathroom. Believe me when I say it is not a straight line. I was able to cap the drains and hot water but made a mistake when it came to capping the cold water line. The line had a third split that I did not see and I accidentally cut the wrong side of the line. Now I'm left with a pipe that I need to cap with no threads or no option thread the line. Is there a way to cap the line without the threads? The valve in the basement is holding and we do not have any plans to use the line but I would feel better if it did have some sort of cap. Any help anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.
