Hi,
Can you give me a recommendation for a gate valve/tap that:
* has a wall fixing or can be attached to wall fixing
* output is either horizontal or vertical male 3/4 BSP
* input is 15mm supply pipe.
?
Background:
I'm sorting out irrigation in my garden. The supply will be a 15mm pipe. I need some sort of isolation valve which could be a tap or gate valve or even the simple type of valves for washing machines would do. However, I need it to be able to be fixed to the wall because I'll be attaching a heavy backflow preventer to it and then a water timer to the backflow preventer. The backflow preventer needs to be aligned in a particular way, so can only take a horizontal or vertical input. It attaches to a male 3/4inch BSP.
So:
15mm supply > Isolation valve/tap/gate > Backflow preventer > water timer > Hose.
Main considerations are the weight of the stuff that will be hanging off the isolation valve means it needs a wall fixing. And space is a bit tight.
A normal garden tap with a wall plate might have been ok - except that the output of the taps seem to always be 45 degrees, rather than vertical or horizontal.
