Turning back on Water Co's tap (legitamely)
Thanks for the answers. But I'm none the wiser.
Could it be that each Water Co. does it differently?
I am sure that ours has a device that latches when turning
off and slips when turning back on.
I had a v good look at it having un-screwed the head.
I found that the head which you turn has an underside with
lugs that are a bit like those metal screws that you can't
unscrew for good reason.
Wedge shaped lugs engage the lower part of the tap,
90 degs one way (off) and a long slope the other that unscrews what
looks like a wood-screw holding the head down so that it won't engage
and open the valve.
So, any more ideas?
