I own a 40 year old home in AZ that has an Orangeburg pipe teed off the

best way
to cap the line, I'll worry about supply to the faucet later.

Irrigation pipe is sometimes connected with dresser
couplings. It's a compression type fitting that can connect two
pipes with without any additional fittings.

There must be a reason these won't work.
