Finding the right isolator valve
- Thread starter neate

Cant say I've ever seen one but all you need to do is use a normal 15mm ISO valve and then fit a 1/2" female to 3/4" male adapter/coupler, with some tape/thread
Why does it need to be the screw type ? why cant you just use a standard washing machine valve with the plastic lever ?
The plastic levers I've had in the past have all worn away the inner screw hole.
Thanks Rob I think I will try and get your solution if not too much more than getting a lever type as per ianmcd's solution.
Thanks Rob I'll try your suggestion if not too much more than the plastic lever type as per ianmcd.

As far as the plastic taps working loose I tend to take the plastic handles off and just use a little adjustable spanner on them
just remove the plastic lever and keep it in a safe place, the bollofix valves that you are looking for are absole crap, they will leak as soon as used
