Default Plumbing fittings

Please can someone tell me what the difference is between an 'isolating
valve' and a 'service valve'?
Screwfix sell both (made by Pegler): they are different in price but appear
to do the same job.

TIA
Nick.

A service valve has a tap connector at one end, and usually a
compression fitting at the other. An isolating valve doesn't have a tap
connector - they usually have compression or push-fit fittings.
