I'm guessing you've got something to share hunterseye?

Eighth floor of a tower block changing a 22mm stopcock.
Got the apprentice to get stopcock from the shop earlier.

Main froze nicely, I cut old stopcock out, went to fit new one only to find sprog had picked up a 20mm stopcock.

Took 30 mins to get the correct valve and in the meantime the main had thawed and sent many tons of water down the service shaft flooding several flats.

My fault really for not checking the materials.

Put this in the Plumbers Arms and you'll get a better response. Most don't like to air their dirty washing!!
