How to seal / close steel pipe end. Sorry for english
Hello,
First of all, sorry for english. My swedish is not the best
I am renovating my kitchen and want to remove the old heater.
I plan to cut off the pipe (location marked with red line in the picture) and want to seal it.
The size of the pipe (outer diameter) is 3 / 8inch (17.2mm).
I can't find a clamp coupling that fits this size of pipe.
Any suggestions how to seal the pipe and where to find the correct size clamp coupling
Thanks for the help.
Regards

3/8 inch is 9,5mm and not 17.2mm, whar size is youtr pipe. Scape the paint off and see what material the pipe is. I suspect that it is a copper pipe that is 15 or 16mm with a thick coat of paint.
Judging by the angle coupling on the right pipe it could be a iron pipe that is threaded. Then you need to rethread it to close it of.

Thats not copper, it is a threaded 3/8” steel tube.
Edit: To be clear. 3/8” is not the outer diameter. It is the inner diameter of the tubes with the available quality when the standard was defined. To day are nothing on a 3/8” tube 3/8”.

Not a single pipe system, so disregard.

Just a note of caution here - If that is an apartment you would need permission from the housing cooperative to remove the radiator.
Also if you are in an apartment the pumps circulating the water would have to be shut off as well as the stem drained before the actual pipes are cut, followed by a refill with air purges on any floors above yours.
If its your own house and private property, shut down the circulation pumps, the furnace and drain the system before attempting to cut the pipes.

Multiman: No, this is not a single pipe system. It shall not be a lop.
Ok, I trust your expertise in this area, so I'll edit my post.D Daniel 109 skrev:

Great. Thanks for many good inputs and answers. And also, be so quick to respond.
I will start by switching off the radiator supply today and see if I can buy the parts (link sent by Magrand) locally in hornbach or bauhaus.
Another quick question. Do I need a pipe cutter and filer or is it ok to use regular hacksaw and a regular filer to cut and remove burr.
Any suggestions?
