Hi all
In 1971 my detached house was split into up/downstairs for a period. Not now, and new system in place, zoned by floor, new hot water tank, rads ect.
We still have:
1 The main cold 15mm stopcock, which is near the kitchen
2 Another 15mm stopcock fitting used to isolate upstairs
3 Another 15mm stopcock fitting used to isolate the external tap
4 Another 15mm stopcock fitting used to isolate hot water going upstairs
5 Another 15mm stopcock fitting used to isolate feeder tank in attic
6 Another 15mm stopcock fitting used to isolate hot water when it gets to kitchen (Now removed by BG - they could not work out why it was there as with item 7, was redundant)
7 New 22mm red/blue lever fittings at different points in the airing cupboard by the hot water tank to isolate hot out/ and water in-out from boiler to coil
8 Boiler room itself has new heavier duty 22mm fittings on all parts to isolate all items to allow easy replacement
9 Another 15mm stopcock fitting used to isolate cold water (but is 5m further on from main one)
10 There is of course the normal 15/22mm isolators across the board by taps/bathroom fittings/appliances/shower pumps.
Now I am guessing someone had a deal on stopcocks
Items 2,3,4,6,9 all seem redundant to me. 6 is gone now. I am wanting to reclaim space and 2,3,4,6 are all in the same area. Any issues replacing them with standard isolator valves (or full bore ones)? I have no issue anywhere with low water pressure I would just remove the fittings entirely put that seems harder to me than swapping fittings to a more streamline type.
