Hey All,

I've just moved into a flat located in a very old building and I'm trying to locate the water shut off. Looking under the sink I think I might have found it, but I've never seen one like this and I'm not having much luck googling. Does anyone know if this is indeed the shut off, and if looks in any way operable?

Yes 1/4 turn

TBH I would if you could install a standard stop tap above the old one
 
Cheers for the quick reply Shaun! There's a very small trickle of water coming from the seal, so if they send someone round to sort that I'll put a replacement to my landlord.

I was stupid enough not to check the position of the pipes under the tiles when installing a toilet and drilled right through the center of a 16 mm copper water pipe. I exposed the pipe by removing a ~30cm section of the plastic sleeve and a ~10 cm section of the pipe around the hole. Several...
