    3/8 square head, long T bar stopcock key

    HI Guys, Does anyone know where I can buy a 3/8 square head, long T bar stopcock key? My village has quite a few smaller valves in the street and I'm sick of having to call out the water company every time I need to fix a stopcock.

    neagtive head shower pumps

    Does anyone know which negative head shower pump can be fitted almost level with the base of the cold water storage tank? I am looking to try and fit one but I don't have much space. I think Stuart turner pumps normally ask for it to be about 500mm below the bottom of the tank?

    Any reason this can't be done? Even if I take off the pressure vessel and cap it off??? The tank is probably less than 1 meter above the shower head so not much pressure to begin with anyway...
