Water tank stopcock?

[Tomska]

The run from my water tank skin to my pump is a length of garden hose with jubilee clips. Anyone know the best way to fit a stopcock? I've googled but nothing obvious. Thanks.

Not sure what you mean by "skin." What type of tank is it?

[Grace and Favour]

I'd convert the garden hose to Hep₂O, and fit one of their stopcocks

Stopcock should go as close to the tank as feasible. If the tank has a stub (which your hose is clipped to) just use a 1/2" stopcock on the stub and then put a small piece of 1/2" pipe on the exit of the cock to re-jubilee your bit of hose to (or do it properly and replace the whole lot with HEP2 as previously recommended).

Do you have a fitting screwed into the water tank to fit the hose to, if so remove it and replace it with a valve like one ofthese http://www.asap-supplies.com/search/ball+valve and then plumb it in properly doing away with the garden hose
