What blank cap for washing machine tap?

[FreddyG]

Hi guys. 

My front load washer doesn’t require hot water connection. The hot water tap on the wall is obstructing where I’d like to position the washing machine, which is on a pedestal. The fitting looks like it would suit a 25mm spanner.

How do I go about replacing this hot water tap with a blanking cap, and what would be the best cap for the job?

Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @FreddyG. It's great to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about blanking off a water tap.

It's likely going to be a 15mm female fitting on the wall, so you'd need a  Brasshards 15mm Brass Threaded Hex Plug and Plumber's Tape to cap it off. This is considered plumbing work and requires a licensed plumber to cap the pipe off for you.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
