pipe cap for pressure tester

[Matt twentyV]

Not being able to easily source a 2.5", I used a 2"
with wraps of duct tape till it fit right.
Then some epoxy on the edges to keep the duct tape
from separating from the pressure.  I then used
a valve from a old bike tire poked through a hole
drilled slightly larger than the valve, again using
that 2-part epoxy to seal it in place.

Nothing better than using epoxy AND duct tape on the
same project!
