Default What are they called - wall mounted service valves?

I need a couple of 90 degree wall mounting isolator valves for the H/C
feed to a basin, I've seen them in hotels but can't find them in the
on-line catalogues.
Here's a (poor) attempt at a description: they have a built-in service
valve, the pipe connects to them behind a panel, they're fixed to the
panel, a standard flexi tail connects the tap to them.

Any suggestions where I can get some?

Dave

Yes indeed.

Take a look at www.hansgrohe.com Navigate to their Axor brand and
then to whichever product set appeals to you. Then select Bathroom
Mixer and Valve/Diverter and you will find them.

Thanks Andy, but what a staggeringly awful website! I poked around for a
while and gave up.

Yes you do have to be determined. The items are there, but you need
to pick a style first and then the items. You can then search based on
a description and the equivalent items in other styles will come up.

Fortunately their products are excellent so it's a shame that the web
site lets them down.

You could look at Grohe as well (different company) they should have some.

No,

those are radiator valves.

But actually, that's not a bad idea. These will be below the basin so a
couple of chrome rad valves would probably do the job nicely. The 1/2
inch tail end would screw into a standard compression wall plate, all I
need to do is find a s/s flexi with the right type of end to connect to
the other end of the valve.

It's not unreasonable. Be careful though. If the plumbing is at
mains pressure, some radiator valves may seep. Normally they are
intended to go on systems of no more thna 3 bar working pressure.
