WHere is the stop valve for kitchen water

[Annette Curtain]

Why isn't it called a "stop-fanny" anyway ?

"stop valve" ( it's just P.C. gone mad. )

Nette.:)

The same is true of the ball cock......(plumbing seems to be full of cocks!)

How can it be a ball and a cock at the same time?

I can feel a google moment coming on......;-)

Must be all the cold water!

Just to give u a chuckle :

(1) got real mean on that water feed pipe stop tap. Hairdryer for 10 mins, bought a basin wrench and oil and now buggered my wrist.

(2) noticed a small hole in the wall where all the piping was heading

(3) Got new bats for the torch, guessed it? Yeah wrong pipe. This one that i've been trying to bore into the wall feeds the tank from the mains. I turned of both tank pipes ages ago - 1 in 1 out, except they must have both been out, 1 to boiler 1 to appliances. Tits.

(4) SO I guess there simply isn't a stop tap for the kitchen sink except the mains outside the house.

All I want to do is remove the kitchen sink units. The sodding kitchen tap nuts are limed up and can't undo. I wonder if I can just cut the pipe and cap it somehow...

kitemonkey.

turn off mains at street and youcan do what you want.

store some cold water first for tea and washing / flushing loo in case of issues stopping you turning water back on..

[karter]

Good thread, i like your style kitemonkey. What kruger said though.

[KidKruger]

Just get stuck in kite, this'll be old news to you in a few weeks and you'll have this knowledge and skill in yer backpocket for the rest of your life.

Or just freeze the pipe up to the sink taps, cut it and cap it (use isolation valves and you can turn them on if you want to get some water at any point).

Have you got a thing for plumbers, Nette, or do you just need your pipes, erm... seen to?

[DJKillaQueen]

Ladies pipes are my speciality!

Surely there is a convertor tool available, a coupling even ?

[DJKillaQueen]

Alas, there's no tool that can convert me! ;-)
