After messing around with the old 3-way fridge for the past year, I bit the bullet and bought a new Waeco CRX50.
Now I want to permanently cap the old fridge gas feed, but it doesn't seem to take a standard cap nut. Does anyone know what I should be using? I have removed the old gas pipe back to the main on/off valve (see pic). The yellow valve is the main gas feed, and the two red valves control the fridge and the hob. I've circled the thread I want to use to cap the feed.
Thanks in advance!

You can take the double valve off and put on a single valve. Cooker only then no worries.

Can you send a link to the valve size I'd need?

Re: Permanent Removal of Westfalia Fridge
A while ago, when I was looking to fit a Westfalia kitchen block into my van, and couldn't find an appropriate connector to fit the back of the fridge or the hob. So I popped to a local trade counter which specialises in pneumatics/hydraulics etc (http://www.bspsales.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;), and they found me a few couplings, reduced down to a 10mm compression for the gas pipe...
If you have any similar local trade counters, it might be worth a visit... I'm sure they'd have something to fit to blank it off

When I removed the fridge from my previous camper to install a Waeco, I just got a blind plug for the gas pipe at the local cara van dealer. You already have the nut from the old gas pipe. Do a Google search for "blind plug gas 8mm"

Hi Rthomson, what did you do with your old fridge? If you still have it I would be interested in it.

I think I got my bits from gazsafe or something like that. Sure you want to takeout as gas fridges are much more beterer

I shortened the gas pipe heated it then flattened the end, filled the gap with solder , screwed back on simple and cheap
