English term or phrase: cap off
Cap off hose end and reservoir fitting.

Conosco il verbo "cap off" ma in un contesto molto generico, in questo caso non avrebbe senso....Ho pensato a "to cap" e a dargli un senso negativo, tipo "scoperchiare"? ma non sono tanto sicura...

se fosse un pennarello ...


Explanation:
sarebbe "senza cappuccio", ad es. cap off ink.
In ambito automotive non l'ho mai sentito...
puo' darsi che il senso sia lo stesso, i.e. senza coperchietto
