Need to change one at the oldest Sons place not looking forward to it as its in a very awkward space it can be done but there's not much room and I'm not quite as flexible as I once was lol the gate has jumped off the spindle fortunately the valve is open hoping to get a lever valve in its place space permitting wish me luck lol.....regards Turnpin

Usually worse thinking about it than the actual job.
Hope it goes okay for you!
Remember that sort of job to a customers eyes is “ just a wee 5 min job to swap a valve”

Just a quick update..double whammy in my favour turned out to be Valve at the front so no access problem and surprise surprise the lever valve married up to the original nuts and olives happy days ....got home quick wash and brush up little bit of shopping and off out for a pub lunch.....hope your Sunday was a good one for you all.Regards Turnpin

So it was actually a 5 min job (nearly)


I hate new chromed valves with the old brass nuts still used though.
Just looks so poor and as if somebody did it in their rush to go to the pub.

I thought it looked great especially when I closed the cupboard door.....anyway they didn't have to pay lol...regards Turnpin
