capping copper pipe
I need to cap off a copper pipe that goes to an outside faucet. it is under the house in a crawl space. I would rather not have to use a torch to soldier it. can i cut it off and use a cpvc cap to cap it off? it is a small diameter pipe and i would cut it off close to the main bigger pipes.

For about $5 you can get a Sharkbite fitting to cap off the pipe. Any Home Center will carry them. Just cut the pipe off square, deburr the end and push on the fitting per the instructions.
