All
I had a pipe sticking out of my lawn at the back of my garden just near my stone wall. It's about 5ft in height and I think it used to feed an outdoor toilet or something. Anyway I was cutting the lawn earlier and managed to knock it and soon after saw water coming out of the grass!!! I had always thought it would of been disconnected. I turned off the mains outside and dug around the pipe and found a corroded tap buried and a split in the pipe.
The problem I have is that the pipe is an old lead one and it is 21mm in diameter it also has thick walls of about 3mm. I tried to put a
22mm end stop on it which held for a while with some PTFE tape but the pressure build up caused it to blow off the end quite spectacularly. At the moment I have a great water feature but I need some help stopping it!Can anyone identify this kind of pipe and where I can get an end stop for it from?
Good job I'm not on a water meter!
Cheers
