Clarence beat me to the punch. I was also going to suggest a pvc cap. I
think there are also rubber caps with a ss hose clamp in the plumbing dept
at Home Depot or others. I guess you would do away with the clamp for
this application.
Besides caulk or hot glue for a snug fit you could use a few turns of
electrical tape.
Whatever you use, to improve uv resisttance" Krylon has a spray paint
that adheres to plastic and provides uv protection. I would probably use
electrical tape to cover the cap. A few strips across the top and wrap
around the sides. Scotch Super 88 is about three and a half bucks a roll,
but is super heavy duty and will last forever outdoors.
