    Will there be any other lead pipe still in use, your replacing lead with copper.

    No way to isolate lead pipe(s) at source, because you will creates a deadleg which is not permitted, if my memory of the water regs is correct.

    Yes after the stopcock I was going to look at getting some kind of coupler to join the new copper pipe to the existing lead pipe.

    Thanks

    I think they are called Leadlock.

    Yes, lead to copper coupler.

    Philmac/Plasson equivalant might be cheaper.

    Can't you get water board to replace the lead, they use to do a free lead replacement scheme
