3 Ways To Temporary Cap A Drain Line
What happens here
The presenter introduces the problem of needing to temporarily cap a sink drain line, for instance, when a sink is not in use or being replaced. He briefly mentions having used compression plugs for leaking angle stops (water supply lines) and a plastic bag inserted into the drain line as a very temporary, overnight solution to prevent sewer gas from entering the room.

Tools and materials
