Hi all,
Have got a seized stop cock which needs swapping out.
Main stop cock also seized and access is a problem for utility company so they will take a long time to do the job.
I can pre fabricate the stop cock with copper and 22mm JG pushfit elbow..cut pipe live and quickly push it and then isolate the new stop cock once done.
Other option is pipe freezing then same as above but use solder fittings.
Option 1 will be quicker but more messy. Option 2 if the pipe freeze fails it could get even messier but if it works then solid job.
Is push fit a valid option or should it always be soldered?
