Getting hold of an old blue switchmaster

[Russboy]

Have seen some postings looking at mending, replacing, etc, an old 3 port Switchmaster, but does anyone know where I can get hold of one? Cheers.....

Obsolete years ago. I sold one new one recently for £150. I'm keeping the other I have to lend to people where I can't alter the plumbing quickly. I bought a secondhand one cheaply but when I came to use it, it was seized up!

You'll need to alter the pipes a little but then any standard valve will fit.

I have change three for honeywells and havent had to change the pipework..

 

[twgas]

changed loads, some need pipe altering to avoid actuator being underneath body, some just need tails shortening, some straight change.

Depends on the orientation of the exisiting valve Twg
