What is this device
Ripping out my kitchen and wondering what this device above the stop valve is. It's before anything else in the house - pressure reduction maybe?

Isolate incoming water supply
I need to change my main stopcock (it's seized). Is this the correct place to isolate the incoming supply? I can't see anything at the bottom except dirt. I know it looks like a W but you never know, it could be an M and I'd rather be sure. There's one in front of every house.

Best way to connect appliances to 15mm copper
Not sure if I'm missing something here. I plan to run copper pipe behind my units to the dishwasher and washing machine, with valves under the sink. So where the appliances connect I need to adapt 3/4" bsp to 15mm copper. However I can only find end feed fittings to adapt 3/4" to 22mm copper. Is this something that is not done? Is my best option adapting onto 22mm and then reducing to 15mm? I am trying to avoid push-fit or compression in hidden areas.

Kitchen sink waste
I'm going to be installing my new kitchen soon. I see a lot of plumbers using silicone for the sink waste, but others say this isn't the 'proper' way to do it. I recently installed a new waste on my bathroom sink, and used plumber's mait on the outer nut. Is this a better way to do it?

I'm planning to install a hydronic plinth heater in my kitchen. I'm looking at the Smith's one on Plumbworld. They sell the flexible hoses separately, but £100 seems a bit crazy for these. I can see similar ones elsewhere for a fraction of the price. Is there a big difference between these branded ones and something from Screwfix?
