Looking for a tap...

Caravan / boat type places perhaps?

Why not just use a regular 15mm ball valve and bodge a bracket onto it so you can mount it?

I did think of that, but it would help if the visible bit looked half way decent, or at least was a standard tap type mechanism where I could replace the handle part to something that looks reasonably in keeping on a victorian cast iron bath.

Something like a standard stopcock tap is almost the right form factor, if there were an easy way of panel mounting it and keeping it looking a bit less functional!

Look at the Chartley "Spoke" product range. The website is crap, but you should be able to find a stockist locally with a calalogue. Be prepared to wince at the price!

Try Laboratory taps, vacuum, air,water, gas in different configurations, am not sure about stockists but will try and locate. Tom

Try :-

The closest I can find there is product code 7517 - but that is not panel mount.

Yes I understand what you want now, They used to fit a valve like that to fume cupboards, If I remember they had a long stem which could be trimmed to the right length with the knob fitted outside the front panel of the fume cupboard so that the tap could be operated without opening the glass front. Have you tried RS Components? or Drallim, they used to make or market various valves. Would a lo voltage solenoid valve do the trick? Hope this helps Good luck Tom
