In my loft I found a bit of a leak.

The hot and cold to the shower both have a in-line stop tap and then a non-
return valve / check valve. (30+ years old)

The stop tap is weeping a bit and other parts are a bit crusty - I think I
should make up a couple of new lengths with new valves (for what they cost)
and splice it into the existing pipework.

Any recommendations on what fittings are best for this job - bearing in
mind it is hidden away in the loft?


Is the leaky one on the hot side? Is the valve one of those
screwdriver operated ballvalve jobs?
If so, many years ago I temporarily bodged one with a jubilee clip
& a bit of inner tube rubber... Some 7 years later it was still
working when removed :-)
