What's the difference? ...plumber needed

... between a service valve and an isolator valve and can I put an isolator on the water pipe going to the toilet?

Thanks in advance

An isolation valve fits between two pieces of pipe-

and a service valve fits on the end of the pipe and then screws directly onto the tap/water inlet valve or other appliance.

thanks so much weekendwarrior, I think I now need to change the service valve to an isolator which will make my job far easier!!!!

Thanks again you very helpful person you
