why cant it be frozen dannypipe, let us no how you get on i was thinking if you had a burst pipe and the mains running full boar could this be fitted if toby cant be found

If there was an option to have it cheaper without the fitting kit, I probably would have gone for it, as I have all the components on board anyway. Only thing is there is a red alignment line on the socket they give you in the kit so that you know you've gone to the right depth.

It came with the fitting kit for £30 plus VAT.

That's a good price then. I'm looking in the Corgi Direct catalogue now and they're selling the valve for £30.00 and the tool kit for £6.00 seperately.

It can't be frozen because the stopcock is broken, and the problem outlet is leaking (a fast drip). So even with my powerful freezing machine, I wouldn't like to bank on it freezing a solid slug in the pipe work. As we all know, running water doesn't freeze well!

I started talking about trying to tape up the outlet with almagamating tape, and freezing it, when I remembered the valve, and the customer said, just do that. It's take 15 mins for the machine to freeze a 15mm pipe even if it isn't leaking. So time against costs. This works out much the muchness!

Looking at the video, I reckon I could fit one of these in about 2 mins or less...but I may eat my words.
