Could anybody enlighten me on the purpose of the plastic ring that is partly along the threaded part on some MBSP connections? If I recall, I only see them on Pressure Relief valves. Am I correct to assume the purpose is to prevent the "reuse" of old valves? Many thanks in advance

Thanks Muggles.... On looking at the valve...should it not have been fitted with the Ball lever half being fitted on the supply side. So when it did come apart, at least the supply side would still be shut off?

Thanks for everybody's input...will let my insurer's deal with this and see if I can claim any expenses from the plumber.

The initial problem was that I noticed water leaking down the hot water copper pipe to the basin. So I tried to shut off the supply by this valve. Then a few minutes later I noticed water flooding the bathroom floor. I then turned off the water at the stopcock under the kitchen sink...not before...

Hi...one of my basin isolation valves (ball lever type) came loose 2 days ago, which flooded my flat and the one below. The bathroom was installed 2 years ago. My question is whether that plumber is liable for this flooding? Many thanks in advance.
