zombies Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Sorry, I can't think of a word that describes what I need. Anyone know the size that fits a 90s fridge gas connector so I can block it off while I source a replacement fridge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracker Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 You might consider a short length of rubber hose hose from a bottle fitted regulator pre bulkhead high pressure hose maybe?) with any sort of bung in one end (old bolt or piece of wood suitable size comes to mind) and slide it over the copper tube and secure each end with a jubilee clip as a temporary solution to enable you to use the rest of the gas system. As it is low pressure it does not take much to stop the gas flow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickt Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Turn gas off at manifold so it willnot get to fridge. but try as has been suggested to block end of pipe off to stop any muck getting in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombies Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share Posted June 4, 2015 Thanks. After going looking for an end cap the chap in the shop said I could have shutoff valves located somewhere. I checked and found a valve behind a drawer. Winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepe63xnotuse Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Mornin'... Personally, I think I'd still prefer to be blanking the end of the fitting as though.... If can't easily get hold of a female blank or male insert/slug locally, then they are(should be)readily available online for a couple o' quid. Are you trying to save the pipework that was feeding the original fridge?( in case it comes in handy?), if not then at the very least I'd be cutting a short nut'n'olived piece of it to use as Tracker suggested.. (ie hose, jubilee clips and a suitably sized bolt). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gocro Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 The diameter of the pipework is often the same as minibore central heating so the the fittings should be the same, therefore measure then go to B&Q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
