I'll probably do that in any case.


Well, that's all you'll need - it's only holding 2 1/2 psi (when the
leak has filled behind it) and the valve will hold back all but the leak
when you take the cap off.

The cap will cost $44 (2,5" firehose)


I know that you have a lathe! BG


Yes but the firehose thread is 7 tpi, not listed on my change gear
charts ;(
