    The warehouse B&Qs sell them, Screwfix used to, Unsure if they still do

    PTS, Grahams, Plumbcentre will all sell them

    If possible take a cutting of the lead pipe with you as there are many different sizes

    I have repaired lead underground water mains in the past, using a fitting called a Johnson Coupler. What exactly is a lead lock. Perhaps I know it under a different name
    I can afford anything that I want.
    Just so long as I don't want much.

    Good evening: Lead 'locks'/ connectors for domestic, Viking Johnson for the big stuff.;)
