[1967skyblue]

Hi chaps,
A bit of a strange question this but here goes, i should no it by now but alas, i have done some jobs in some newish builds recently and after the interna rising main stop tap there is a copper pipe that loops and refits into itself, the fitting brances into a water meter then refits into like a bevel with o rings and back up into the main, if any one can understand what im on about whats its purpus and what is it ? Thanks

Are you talking about a meter bypass pipe?

Looks like an old meter set up which integrated a stop tap, non return, drain off etc... Some of them you went into the bottom of the large valve and then out the top. The large valve sends the water around the meter and then back to itself and out the top.

it all belongs to the owner of the water meter ie. your water board.
