Can you buy Soldered Isolation Valves?

[jonjack]

I can't seem to find Solder ring /Pre-soldered isolation valves anywhere so presume they don't exist or are generally not stocked by any of the main dealers since demand is so low.

I've extended a hot/cold water supply from upstairs for a small downstairs bathroom and have been using soldered joints - I didn't really want to put a compression fitting valve (these seem to be available) in the line when everything else I have done is soldered.

Can anyone tell me if/where they can be bought online, if at all?

cheers

dont forget to dismantle it before soldering or it wont work again

Or if you require a gate valve not a stop valve try. YP415GM

nothing wrong with compression, and often a good reason to use compression.

I agree, compression, if it's a stop valve it's going to be accessible (should be).
