@leed99  if you just want to cap them off Bunnings has kinetic brass threaded cap fittings about 2 dollars each in the plumbing section. You will also need some plumbing tape found in same area. Clean the thread wrap 2 or 3 lots of tape around it and screw on cap. JDE

Hi @leed99,

 

It's great to see @JDE has offered some excellent advice, and capping them off with thread tape is all that is needed. Make sure you use an adjustable spanner to tighten the caps. If you can measure the thread size, we might be able to narrow down the exact threaded cap you need.

 

Please let us know if you have any questions.
