[Public-list] Bronze NPS thread pipe cap source?

[Villo Marmei]

Just for what it is worth.....take a small rubber ball or rubber cork 
or cylinder with an approx.. OD. of the inside pipe. OK.
Drill a hole through the ball...put a screw/bolt....head washer on 
one side of the ball and a washer nut on the other side of the 
ball....then tighten the ball /screw so that it expands and makes 
solid strong seal inside the pipe.
This is my version for the solution for this problem....However you 
should always consult with this fellow Don Campbell....he has a 
wealth of experience on Albergs and knows most of it all.
Villo...on AHTI

PS:Variety stores sell small colorful ball the kids bounce and play 
with....a flexible ball or material will do the trick.
