Hi I need to connect to a water supply, but the incoming supply is an ancient stop tap and lead pipe. First idea was to leadloc onto the pipe but it's been cut off rite next to the tap, very close to where the lead pipe widens out as it goes over the tap. So dose anyone know just how much "straight" length of lead pipe I need to get a leadloc on there properly?
I should mention that I have no way of turning the supply off before this tap so can't cut through the pipe before the tap without freezing the it, which I don't really fancy trying TBH!
So do I have any chance of bodging a leadloc on... or if not any ideas anyone!!!???
