Extraneous part issue?

[telectrix]

I shouldn't admit this but my brain wandered to trying to think of an inexpensive plumbing accessory that requires an earthed electrical connection that could be installed inline on the pipe and legitimately powered by a spur....thus bringing the potential to earth down so when you test it its suddenly fine...!
I couldn't come up with one, a two port zone valve locked open was the closest I got!

self tapper through pipe, ring crimp to stop the leak. (well, wet-pants screw up our gear. REVENGE TIME).

Cover it in insulating tape?

I just hope that stop cock won't need 'taping up', too.

Stop cocks are like RCDs. They sit there for years and then you want the untested thing that has had no exercise to actually do something useful and nope....either stuck solid or leaks when you move it.
