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

[Elaine and Brian Timmins]

Rachel,
  Possibly I misunderstood. My suggestion of capping inside the valve was 
meant as a secondary, piece of mind solution. It would remove the 
possibility of the valve openning and leaking while giving you a chance to 
"live with it for a while" with extra piece of mind. I have a 1 1/2" thru 
hull with a seacock and a pipe plug in my hull where I removed a second head 
(not an Alberg). I had an insurance survey done last summer and the surveyor 
was quite happy with it.
  In any case, I checked all my supply catalogs at work today. I couldn't 
find any brass or bronze NPS pipe caps. I just now Googled "NPS Threaded 
Pipe Caps" and noted two suppliers. Your choice, either Titanium or 
Stainless (also plastic, but I wouldn't even think of that!). I'm not sure 
of the sizes available in the stainless, but the Titanium goes from 1/8" - 
4".
Good Luck on your search,
Brian
