thats just like sticking a service valve on the end. I thought they were classed as un-capped pipework

that's not a bad idea. can't be a rubber seal around the ball though otherwise it would melt when soldered. maybe teflon or something else heat proof.

Do they make left and right sided ones?

 

[scotty plumber]

Nice idea!

Sensible! Assume it has seals like on a lever valve.

what happens when it passes or leaks through the centre,its not a good idea imo

That's what I meant by lever valve teflon seals, - if it hasn't them & just has rubber seals, then it will leak at screw. Hopefully it will have same seals as some of the heavier full bore service valves.

i like the B&Q jobbies you can only operate by opening with a screw driver situated inside the spout :86:
