I have a BS5433 crutch head stoptap ( manufacturer Samuel Booth ) which is connected to 32mm mdpe at one end and 28mm copper at the other. It is leaking from the bonnet seals but as it is in a difficult location to remove and replace I would prefer to unscrew the bonnet and replace the seals. Note: I can isolate the incomming supply from another stoptap down the line to do this. Can I obtain a replacement seal kit or bonnet assembly from anywhere?
 
Try a wee bit ptfe tape 3 or 4 turns or & liquid locktight ptfe ,most likely fibre washer has gone,you only need to reseal without looking at it. hope this helps .
