Is it possible (as a neighbor told us) to cap the nozzle with a screw-on type

The system is a Rainbird 1800. Any advice appreciated.

Just unscrew the sprinkler head and screw on a cap. It will probably

Capping it off is certainly an easy way to do it, but if you're in a
freezing climate and need to blow the system out each fall, you'll
have to uncap that head during the blow-out. Otherwise water will fill
that section of pipe, freeze, and crack the pvc.
