Stopcock spindle handle, where from?

[stardanny]

Morning all.

Do you know where I can get a long handle like a normal stopcock handle for underground, but for gripping onto spindle with the handle broken off?

Stopcock is turned off and unfortunately handle has snapped off, I know the stopcock work, I just need to turn back on.

I've seen them before with Thames Water.

Any idea where from?

Thanks

Daniel

call water board they will sort out at no cost. mick

It is water board property get them to sort it out, if they argue about the cost you could suggest it was a Water Board engineer that broke the stop cock in the first place.

Stopcock is private, on a farm, water is for cow drinking water out in the field.

Danny, I've sen a kind of mechanics socket / plug spanner with like needle rollers in it - Facom Roller stud extractor. OR a Sealey stud remover & installer ( that one's like a mini basin wrench )

A basin wrench would probably be the ideal thing. here's a telescopic one.

You gotta love Farmers - one had a burst water main , like Danny's setup . I exposed it and it was holed galv. iron - but nearby it was converted to copper. Got the gas bottles out and welded over the hole after disconnecting the copper and draining the water. Another one wanted some galv. pipework from a CW cistern in a shed. I used the prongs on a trailer tow bar to hold the pipe and pull an offset in it. I bought a car off one (BMC 1100) the cills had been covered with galv. sheet from a drinking trough - gas welded on with the car up in the air on the front forks of the tractor
