Re: How to plug vanity waste pipe

Hi @tanyacooper,

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is wonderful to have you with us.

 

Depending on the diameter of the pipe, you could put a 40mm Push On Cap or a 50mm Push On Cap over the end of the pipe.

 

You may need to use a utility knife to widen the gap around the pipe so that the cap can sit over it. If so, just remember to wear some gloves to protect yourself from lacerations.

 

Let me know what you think, and if you have further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

 

Jacob
