Pb In Texas for Model Number Unknown

My mid century house has natural gas wall jets (my term ... I am not really sure what the gas delivery part is called) that were used for space heaters. All of he jets have been capped except the one in my faux fireplace where I have a vintage log gas heater that is not connected to the jet. I recently had a city gas company inspection and was told I have to cap that jet before they will turn on my gas (i.e., no hot water or stove). What is the name of the part I need in order to cap the gas jet? Thanks so much for your help!
