    Completely remove bathroom sink and cap off galvanized pipe.
    Hello, I have a very small 3 piece bath off kitchen. In order to use bathroom sink you have to squeeze between toilet and shower that's why I want to eliminate sink, but I'm not sure how to cap off galvanized pipes once I remove the sink. Thank you in advance for you expertise.

    You can either leave the valves installed or remove them and cap them off with 1/2" galvanized plugs. Cap off drain with rubber Flex Seal type cap to prevent sewer gases from entering living spaces. Caps are inexpensive and can be purchased in Home Depot type stores.

    But before you start capping off your sink plumbing, realize you won't have a sink to wash your hands in after using toilet. You could always install narrow Porcher sink that is only about 8" wide. Its size will give you convenience of having a sink as well as is small enough to allow you to pass through without getting in your way

    Check with your building department. In most codes you cant have a toilet without a sink.
