I've got to replace the vacuum valve in the pipe, can you separate it or not I've tried boiling water but no joy >:( didn't soften it up at all.

That's the one, can't find a secondhand one nearby as mine is a two connector valve & Vx don't sell those pipes any more, they now sell a pipe by the meter @ almost £30 just for the pipe :o :o
