Im renovating my bath room and where i removed the bidet, i now have an extra set of unused hot and cold pipes.
2 hot and 2 cold in total. need to disconnect one hot, 1 cold and need a bit of advice on how best to do it.
If i wanted to disconnect this set im thinking i could just disconnect the compression tee for the hot feed and replace that joint with a straight coupler?
Not sure what to do about the cold supply though, could I cut the pipe near the tee and fit a stop end?
I read somewhere that its not good to leave dead legs with water in them so not sure if this would be acceptable to cut as close to the tee as possible but leaving enough to fit a stop end
Heres the second set of pipes
the hot (marked red) comes off a tee fitted to the cylinder outlet pipe. could i cut the pipe near the tee and cap off or does the tee need de-soldering and replacing with a straight reducer?
The cold feed comes direct from the loft tank with nothing branching off it.
if i disconnect the pipe from the tank, is there a suitable plug that can get to plug the hole in the tank? (would rather disconnect the pipe so as to avoid someone opening the stop valve in future) or could i use a stop end on the short section of pipe coming off the tank?
I only need to disconnect one hot and one cold but trying to work out which ones are easiest to do and the best way to do it.
