Question:

Cap off a steel or aluminum gas pipe?

I've read a question/answer about capping off a pipe that was copper (or black) - but ours is a silver colorDoes it make a difference in how we go about it? Or is there just a different kind of cap we should buy?

Answer:

Read the rice instructions.buy instant tooUse the amount of water needed to cook it.in the casseroleSo if it calls for a cup of water to cook 2 servings or whatever, substitute a cup of water for a cup of french onion soupI'm not sure if you can mix all of that and get a good result honestlyThey sound good on their own though.maybe make a burger out of that ground beef, saute up some onions to put on top of it and use some of that cheddar as wellThen serve a little soup on the side?
INGREDIENTS 1/2 cup chopped celery 1/4 cup chopped onion 2 tablespoons chopped green pepper 2 tablespoons butter or margarine 2 cups cubed, cooked chicken 1 (4 ounce) can sliced mushrooms, drained 6 pimento-stuffed green olives, sliced 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted 1 cup milk 1 (8 ounce) package wide egg noodles, cooked and drained TOPPING: 1/2 cup cornflake crumbs 1/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese 2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted DIRECTIONS 1In a skillet, saute celery, onion and green pepper in butterRemove from the heat; add chicken, mushrooms, olives, soup, milk and noodlesMix wellSpoon into a 2-qtbaking dishCover and bake at 325 degrees F for 25 minutesMeanwhile, combine topping ingredientsSprinkle topping around edges of casserole; return to the oven for 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
It makes no difference as long as the threads are the sameThey will either be a flare or national pipe threadsIf it is about the size of your pinkie finger on the tip, and has a rounded end, it would be a flare most likely 3/8If it has a hole that is big enough on the inside to slip your forefinger in the end (and may be tight) it is most likely 1/2 NPTBlack iron pipe is mostly used for gas, however silver or galvanized pipe caps will work just as wellTurn the gas off, if not already, use pipe joint compound or Teflon tape to seal the threads.
