Re: New drain valve
thats just like sticking a service valve on the end. I thought they were classed as un-capped pipework

Re: New drain valve
that's not a bad idea. can't be a rubber seal around the ball though otherwise it would melt when soldered. maybe teflon or something else heat proof.

Re: New drain valve
Sensible! Assume it has seals like on a lever valve.

Re: New drain valve
That's what I meant by lever valve teflon seals, - if it hasn't them & just has rubber seals, then it will leak at screw. Hopefully it will have same seals as some of the heavier full bore service valves.
