Hello! I have a quarter turn shut off valve under the kitchen sink that's intended to supply water to an ice maker. The valve is new and was installed by a plumber. However, we removed the ice maker and don't plan to get one. So, the valve is just sitting in the off-position. Is that safe enough or should I cap it for extra protection in case it leaks or is accidentally switched-on?
I bought a 1/4in compression cap which will thread on the valve but I feel like that's not sufficient. Should that cap do the job or should I tape the thread when using this cap or use a ferrule with it or is there a better approach for this scenario?
Pic of the valve, cap, and ferrule are attached. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
