Gas line

I have an older rig and have pulled the old oven/ stove out, therefore I have a gas line that needs to be sealed is there a clamp that you can buy to clamp this shut, or does it need to be melted closed by a professional ?
I've decided to go with an induction cooktop in a convection microwave and no longer need the gas stove

Thank you for any advice and insight you may have

    I'll see if I can pull a part off of the stove, if not I'll send a photo.
    Thanks

    Do you have the old line that you took off of the pipe? Take it along so you get the right size and type.

    Otherwise we need to know what type of line it is that you are capping off. A picture of it would work fine.

    Does anyone know what size cap is needed to cap off the line to the oven, or where the oven used to be ? I thought it was a 1/2 so I picked up brass cap at Home Depot and its to big, but the 1/4 inch looked to small.
    Does it take a special or odd fitting to cap ?
    Home Depot is 20 miles away ( away) so I want to make sure before making another trip back
    Thanks

    Clamp no.. Cap or plug (Depending on which the end of the pipe needs) yes
    You can also disconnect the other end of the line and plug it.

    ANY hardware store will have what you need.

    You should follow that line (copper or flexible) back to the black iron pipe that supplies it and remove the line and fitting and cap or plug it. Make sure to use sealant on the cap or plug, and test for leaks.

    There is usually a cap for any gas fitting, unless you've just cut the supply line. I would trace back along the line to the next place the line can be capped. I've not heard of clamping a gas line (rubber hose?) or melting one shut.
