Hi newbie here! We moved into our place and found some unused open pipes and water taps under the laundry sink, and trying to cover them up. We know a washing machine was removed from the laundry (they had two in there, we only have one) and so some water inlets and pipe may have become redundant in the process. Hoping to get some advice from the community 🙏
In the photo:
1. Open end of S trap - is there any cap for this? Or any other way to close it?
2. Small open pipe - this spurts out water and floods the cupboard when water gets poured down the sink above so need to close. Is there a cap for this?
3. Bottom half of cold water inlet - you can see I had tried to seal this with a blanking cap, thread tap and fibre washer, but it still leaks. Done it twice already, very sore from being in the tight space with no room to move or turn that wrench... The same setup has worked for the hot water inlet, so not sure what's wrong. Any ideas to fix it? Or just try to redo it again?
Hello @housie
Job well done! Nothing is more satisfying than getting all the leaks plugged up. Please check the area occasionally for the next 24 hours just to make sure that there are no slow leaks. If no leaks occur, no repairs are needed.
If you need further assistance, please let me know.
