The taps are called Supa Taps. First made back in the 50s. The little pin that dropped out @15:49 is a valve. The water supply doesn't need shutting of to work on these as when the heads on it pushes the pin up allowing water flow but when you take the heads off the water pressure closes the valves allowing you to work on them live. You can still get the washers in some washer packs from City Plumbing

[@Heatking]

Thank you mate! I later found out the name of the taps. Didn’t realise city still sold the washers though!

[@lukemorden6475]

@@Heatking No worries, I still repair a fair few as people dont seem to want them removed. If you ever need the kit the code for city is "988041"

[@russellbaldry5095]

Good old ‘supataps’ 😆ive got a whole load of those washers. The taps were a great design, you can re washer them without turning off the water! They were just very ugly. They also made a plastic version of them that had a habit of snapping off completely at the stem🙈😵😵. Tidy job again though mate, i used to use the mcalpine couplings on lead and just cut the middle part out with a stanley👊🏼👍🏼

Bet your dad tells you the same as I’m going to say. With all the modern materials used nowadays, you young’uns don’t know you’re born😂. When I was an apprentice connecting to lead waste was wiping a small piece of 32mm copper into the lead with a ‘lip’ joint and then adapting to push fit plastic waste. Pushfit waste pipe was the same size as the copper in those days, before metrication, (well before). I’m 74 now so work it out.Have a good Christmas and keep the videos coming
