If the capping off is temporary, I will often do it using a

When doing plumbing, it's good to have some pushfit endcaps to
hand anyway in case you have to cap something off you hadn't
thought of (e.g. water trickling back out the other end of the
cut pipe).



I have a small collection of speedfit stop ends for just this purpose...
I find them handy as they are easy to remove by hand without needing tools.
