Hi all. I have an old (probs 1950s) outside tap which is located in an old washhouse.
The problem is that it started leaking badly months ago and i managed to close it off with a make shift pipe and valve,but that is now close to exploding!!!
The mains cut off tap is siezed solid and cannot be turned so the water supply to that tap cant be shut off.
So my plan is to replace the tap with a newer one while its still under pressure and get soaked in the process,but i havnt got a clue what size thread will be on the old fittings!
Any help or ideas please?
Thanks
