I have just bought a flat which was built in the seventies. It has a black plastic incoming water supply pipe (about 17mm ext. diameter).
Whilst trying to open the copper stopcock attached to it I split the pipe! I have now removed the stopcock and it appears that there is a black plastic fitting which is a bit like a tap connector solvent welded (?) onto the pipe. The pipe/fitting is then held to the stopcock by a copper nut.
I have cut the pipe at the split, but now I need another of these solvent weld fittings to finish the repair. Are they available or is there an alternative fitting I have to use.
