Cause of spluttering kitchen tap?

Lever arm for what mate ?

Incoming mains before ICS ( five word rule FFS )

I would be happy with a stop tap never seen a manufacturer/ regs say it must be a lever valve any chance of a screen shot ?

Dont get me wrong pal stop taps ok , but its always been lever arms . Did my unvented at Wooooster last year and we talked about it then .

A stopcock is fine. Personally I prefer a fullbore lever valve but the Centre brand CentreStore manual I have here says "A stopcock or servicing valve".

Do other manufacturers say different?

Its above the cylinder, I am not saying thats the problem but its the first thing I would loose , it shouldn’t be there and they are no good with mains pressure. Brass stop tap you marked cracked should be a full bore lever arm .

Quite right, gate valves are for low pressure mainly
Also, gate valves should be installed on vertical pipes to prevent crud collecting in the bottom well which could prevent it closing
