Is it me, or do service valves always weep a bit?

I do a lot of change taps/change sink jobs and always seem to find the
service valves (if fitted at all) weep and I end up working with wet arms!

Got to the point where I've just made up a couple of 2" lengths of copper
pipe with stop ends & compression nuts & olives so I can blank off the
service valves.


What's the difference between a service valve and an isolation valve?

Pretty mUcH nothing. Most of it's just what you were brought up on.
