Hi
I understand every local code is different but I have a capped copper sink pipe that is 1" too long to fit a new kitchen sink.
I am not 100% sure what it is for, maybe act as a hammer arrester or some kind of venting?
I am wondering if I could cut it shorter and use this type of Shark Bite end stop fitting:
Where in the plumbing code would I be able to check if I can use shark bite type end fitting like the one below?
