I live in an old house… There’s a brass hot water pipe that runs from the hot water boiler to a tap, and there’s no vavle between the boiler and the tap. I want to remove the tap and cut off the water supply permanently. To do this, I want to install a plug into one of the unions along the way.
The question is this. How do I unscrew a pipe that’s threaded into a union? There’s nothing to grab on to. Is there a special tool I need to get that will allow me to grip the bare pipe and twist it?
Thanks.
