Anyone here able to put my mind at rest??
The house i am renovating is one of a pair of smallholdings, adjacent to the houses is the route for the water main providing water to a nearby town, we have very high (unmeasured) water pressure,
I have branched into the service supply (my side) and taken a feed to my caravan, were i have a philmac type stoptap, i also have 22mm blue alcathene on a philmac tupe stoptap in what will be utility of house.
To date, Twice the stoptap as failed at the caravan, by failure i mean the tap as blown straight of the thread and completely ruined the stoptap, Philmac say there products are rated to 16 Bar.
My main worry is that i have this type of tap as the main stoptap in the house, and although i am doing full renovation at the moment and a burst tap would not be a problem.
My question maybe is
what legal maximum pressure can a water company supply to a house
(assuming there is a maximum)
