Hi all,
I was hoping someone could help me identify the pipe used to supply a toilet here in NC, likely installed 1957 (pic attached). Measurements, as best as I can determine:
I also need to figure out how to temporarily cap this pipe. I (stupidly) cut the pipe beyond the threads, as I was assuming it was a standard copper pipe that I could pop a 1/2" sharkbite on, but of course, that doesn't seem an option.
I'll also need to figure out the simplest way to temporarily cap some other pipes of this size, assuming I can just access the threads one those. I may even be able to find threads on this particular line further "upstream" if needed.
Any and all suggestions are welcome - I'm in a bit of a bind. Thank you!

- OD is between 5/8" and 6/8" (around 11/16" perhaps?)
- ID appears to be slightly under 1/2".
