Identifying capped off pipework?

[macka09]

Hi all. How do you guys identify the hot and cold pipe work that's been capped off after a bathroom rip out? One of our guys forgets every time to check whether existing install is correct (cold on right, hot on left). Pipes on current job can't be traced back. Combi system.

put a pipe on it and find out using a bucket to run water into

I knew you'd say that lol.

It's a combi,
isolate cold to boiler then you will only have flow at the cold tap.

Maybe get a power flushing machine and pump drain dye down one of the pipes and see if it comes out the hot or cold kitchen sink tap...obviously use a green dye as a red or blue one could be confusing..

Probably the easiest way!
