Hello all,

my washing machine and dishwasher are plumbed in with isolating
valves/taps similar to these in the Screwfix catalogue.

Now the instructions with the W/M and D/W say to turn off the water
after use - which I do - and the handle on the D/W valve is now
broken. It was secured by a small screw to the valve body.

The question is, can I get more substantial handles than the somewhat
brittle plastic ones? The obvious source is to buy another valve,
throw away the valve body and use the handle - but this offends my
sensibilities - I would like to get just the handle itself if
possible. Screwfix don't seem to do them.

Thoughts anyone?

Regards

Sid
