Hi
I have a small field with a static caravan on it. The water company are coming out in a few weeks to connect up a supply. So far I have a 90cm trench from just outside the boundary to 12 feet inside. I plan to run 25mm mdpe pipe along this to a standpipe. I'm not ready to run all the way to the static yet as it's final location hasn't been decided on. To satisfy regulations, I've been told I need a non return tap. My question is, can I connect a plastic stopcock before the tap so that I can isolate the supply at this point rather than having to isolate at the road? Then when connecting to the static, it's just a matter of taking a T from between the stopcock and the tap?
Also, do all taps have a non return valve as any that I look at online don't actually state that they have one?
Many Thanks in advance.
