ToughButterCup Posted December 21, 2019 Author Share Posted December 21, 2019 United Utilities operations teams (the lads on the ground) could not have been more helpful. Every person arriving on site looking at the design (detailed here) agreed that someone in the office did not provide a competent design is (one that takes into account the fact that stop tap packing glands fail occassionally) Another less charitable interpretation is that they do know how to design competently, but are deliberately not fitting stop valves. What is the likelihood of a Plasson Stop Valve packing gland failure? I mention that because the operator in the New Connections Team let slip that they were not fitting external stop valves nowadays: and immediately she said that, I could hear her biting her lip...... Alls well that ends well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
