Can anyone advise - can this type of cap be unscrewed? (one end of a kitchen waste pipe) If so, is there a tool to unscrew or should it be able to be unscrewed by hand?

Similar to the following...

Yes, generally. Depending on how long it’s been in, it’ll probably needs some pressure from water pump pliers/grips to undo. Careful though, as it could break.

Thanks - it has been on there 20+ years... not sure if it is glued on or screwed... difficult access at back of sink unit... I wonder how it could break.... that would be more of a pain..

Hole in copper pipe, solder under floor, T coupling & protection
I was stupid enough not to check the position of the pipes under the tiles when installing a toilet and drilled right through the center of a 16 mm copper water pipe. I exposed the pipe by removing a ~30cm section of the plastic sleeve and a ~10 cm section of the pipe around the hole. Several...

How to identify dripping tap.
Our kitchen mixer tap has started dripping. Like so much of the plumbing in our almost new build bungalow, it is lacking! The plumber didn't install any isolating cocks in the H&C feed to the tap so how can I identify which of the valves is passing? Shut the whole H&C water system down?
