Cheers mate What center part will fit are they bog standard size Kev

Thanks Hufty it's defo gonna be a stopcock, can you get the 22mm to 15mm or do you think I should leave that one in and just add a second 15mm one Kev

Yes I know but I don't know if I have movement until the pipe is cut, that's one on my concerns, once it's cut there's no going back Kev

Yes this is what I'm going to do, the stopcock outside worked ok about 5 year ago when I last used it so hopefully it still will Kev

I'll check tonight but I think I'll go with leaving the old one in and adding a second one on the 15mm copper pipe, yes it's stuck fully open, what about just adding an online 15mm valve or is stopcock the far better option as I could do either Kev

Thanks bathstyle I have butchered it so i have got good access to it (The photo's took earlier) i just thought maybe the centre would easily come out Replacing the whole stopcock id just need a 22mm to 15mm with no other outlets but i think the new stopcock would be lightly smaller in...

I was going to cut it if i hadnt managed to get it working with the extra drop I think should work fine though as long as it still sits in the water as you will end up with smells comming through the pipework Kev

UPDATE .......UPDATE I changed the insulation pads two days ago and this is what has occured Water damage and finally i have found the leak Two boiler men that called to inspect insisted that it was impossible to have leak in boiler as it would show on the worktops, this leak has...
