RE: water mains - cap or plug
If we are talking about say standardized mechanical or push-on joined items (of which there are literally millions of both out there!) push-on restrained and mechanical joint plugs are often preferred for convenience where such hubs are available or convenient and the line can be bulkheaded (for testing and/or future connection etc.) there, as these plugs are self-restrained and do not require cutting the bell off or cutting of a separate plain end by plain end spool and purchase of a separate item (like a separate retainer gland etc.) to accomplish unblocked thrust restraint, at least of that joint.
