Drip In My Dual Push Toilet
31 Answers
Got a drip into bowl. I'm trying to turn off water to have a look at it. I can't turn off water tap under sink in kitchen but it is tight shut. I put WD40 on but still can't turn. Shall I use a tool to listen it ? There is no tap visible in bathroom.

That, to me, looks just like the one in my link at 11:36. I use a spanner with long jaws and hold it on the tap handle like the man in the video did with the pliers; I find a spanner easier. Incidentally

The first thing to do is find the place in the street where you can turn-off your water. It's likely to be about 3 feet down under a metal lid and you will need a special tool to turn it (a piece of wood with a V cut out will probably do). The first time I came to use ours it was full of sand and I had to dig down to get to the tap. Turn the water off there, check that it's really off ie, that you've found the right tap. Then, and only then, try a spanner on the one inside the house. Once you've finished the job consider replacing the stop-cock inside the house - you might need it urgently sometime.
Any good here tamaris?

If it's a standard stop-cock like this one:

a spanner is safer than a hammer because it will apply torque to both arms at once.

Do you mean this sort of thing?

They are only used on indirect water supplies as they are not completely watertight, so they are often used on toilets. I would still try to get a spanner big enough to fit the handle part. Alternatively, it might be possible to remove the handle and use a spanner on the spindle.
