capped/capped off
Explanation:
A pipe is said to be "capped" or "capped off" if it has a cap attached to one end. Calling that a plug would, IMHO, be wrong. I'm drawing on my early experience as a plumber's helper here, gained while working for my father, who was a journeyman plumber, and then for a plumbing company during one hot summer in Florida to help pay college expenses.

Do a Google search for "capped pipe."
