    Capping off sink waste on a washing machine ubend

    Hi guys, I just installed a new worktop in my utility so I don't need the sink waste anymore (but want to leave fitting there in case next owner may want to put in another sink at a later date). Is there any cap end on the market that will work to just cap it off or what do you guys recommend to do?
