ᐅ How do you call this fitting/valve/cap used to "shut off" a floor heating loop?

Hello everyone,

I would like to deactivate the underfloor heating loop in the basement hallway for the winter, meaning no water should flow through it. In the long term, using a "clamp" is not an ideal solution 😉 so I would need some kind of "cap" that can be screwed on in a way that the pin is permanently pushed in. How would this be properly done?

Maybe a rather silly question, but I just can’t think of the name or term to search for... 🤨 The thread diameter is about 30mm (1.2 inches), if that’s relevant.



Under the sink: pipes, two shut-off valves, and a measuring device.

What you are looking for is called a valve cap.

Just to conclude briefly: When I switch off the actuators or disconnect them, the circuit actually closes. So the goal is achieved, and at the same time, electricity is saved 😎

Thanks for the support – in hindsight, it was actually a pretty silly question 🤨
