I have removed a radiator in a room that's changing use (and there
will be other things attached to the wall where the radiator was).
I'm happy enough that the lock-shield valve will be watertight and
tamper proof but I'm not at all convinced about the thermostatic valve
at the other end - in fact I've knocked it a couple of times and
provoked a squirt of water.
Is there anything designed to cap the end or, alternatively, what's the
best way to bodge it?
These are made for the job, plumbers merchant will sell them. The bodge
is to join the two with a washing machine hose. Don't ask me how I
know...
What "these" are made for the job?

That just looks like a cap to me. Surely it would be a stop end?
