i alaways thought you had to thread galv pipe.
can you not change the whole pipe run?, better in the long run

If part of the supply is being used then you cannot cap it, it must be removed back to the branch, where a plug can be screwed into the branch.
Why freeze it when all you have to do is turn it off while you work on the pipe
