Outside tap froze and pipe burst. So I want to add an internal tap to allow the outside piping to be drained in winter.
The garden tap is on the outside of the living room wall, with the pipe running under the living room floor.
I'd like to avoid having to lift fitted carpet and floorboard each year to access a tap in the pipe, so thought about bringing the pipe up through the floor, to tap, and back down.
Bit unsightly though. I've heard there's a 'button' you can get to shut off a stopcock. Is this true? How does it work? What does it cost? Is there a web link?
Or other suggestion bearing in mind this tap will be in the living room.
