blank off a pipe but plate in a hole

[JACEK1]

Hello all forum users!

Now that the autumn has arrived, central heating in our little town was switched on. But a friend of mine was taken aback. He was halfway through repairing his radiators when all of a sudden a jet of water pushed out the pipe ending and sent it flying towards the ceiling. He should have finished reparing it much earlier. What we do in such a case is blank off a pipe or close a pipe or blind a pipe.

If we deal with an opening, however, and want to fill it what we do is plate it in. I would also be inclined to equip an opening with a blank-off plate instead of plating it in.

To plate a hole in means to fill it or equip it with a blanking plate.

Do you agree with my definitions and reasoning?

Thank you.

You plug a hole by inserting a plug in it.

I guess your friend forgot to turn off his house's main steam-supply valve. It's nice that you have a municipal heating system available. Such systems only exist in congested commercial districts of a few cities in the United States. As far as I know, district heating is not available to single-occupancy houses anywhere in the country.
