May sound odd but can you get locks of some sort for outside taps?

got the cheeky fooker from next door who keeps using my outside tap when im not around

think ive heard of caps that you can padlock over a tap to stop it being used, am i dreaming or has anyone else ever heard of these...
any idea where to find/source one from?

Ta.

 

leave a note.... LOL

 

or like this you mean?


fit this inside and turn it off, cutting the water supply....

my house is a converted victorian house into 3 flats, the gravel courtyard for parking is right outside my kitchen window, so for ease ive had an outside tap fitted for when cleaning the car etc!

ive asked him before to not use it unless hes going to pay towards my water bills but he swears he doesnt use it, also with me working away the misses says he cleans his car most weekends from our tap and again when im home and ask him he says im being stupid as he doesnt use it.

apart from being close to loosing my temper with him, ive agree'd with her that ill see if theres another way to stop him using it first.

 

did you see the link

 

put a mains elecy feed on the inside of the tap onto it, he'll stop using it...infact bet he jus dies...

 

i hadnt seen the link, but i have now.

 

take tap top off ( 1 screw)

 

You can get outside tap securing boxes

fuck the the lock wire it up to the mains and record what hapens for us all to see

 

plumb it in to your toilet temporarily, that will stop him using it

 

I could pay him a visit if you like mate

 

get the plumber to put an inside valve in so you can turn it off from inside.

 

then rig up a CCTV camera to catch the disapointed look on his face when he realises no water comes out after he's got set up..

Or set up some temp feed to it with some diluted brake fluid in so when he washes his car with it you'll be sure to know...

normally 1 screw in the handle bit

 

wipe dog shit all over it

 

won't he just get a small spanner and turn it on,then he will laugh at you more thinking you have stopped him using it.

better still Kelv, twat the cunt!!

cheeky fooker.

 

i know u get locking valves for gas not seen them for water but am sure there are some on the go somewhere

 

The inside valve is a good idea because it will protect the outside pipework from frost as well as screw him up!

 

just get a lockshield bib tap pegler make these code is something like 141fgk
stands for ferald gaurd key, the actual tap handle is removeable so you can take it inside when you aint using it job done!

 

here you go

it'll be cheaper to put a stop cock inside, that way you'll know it's either on or off

 

Not if he calls a plumber out it wont.

How rude!!

Cant you just take the twisty bit off the top so he cant use it? (technical terms i know! )

 

I would put an insolating valve inside, will take 10 minutes to fit yourself

 

cheaper than a time machine?

seeing as the tap in the link was discontiniured in 2004

 

how do you work that out we order them in at work all the time?

 

You can still get them, we also get them at work!
