I use that same control and pay less than a tenner I use ARP-Co in Avonmouth Bristol but I only live three miles away and collect - it's a generic tap and they are industrial suppliers. A word of warning - the butterfly tap handle is die-cast and fractures if it hits concrete hard. I wrap my handle in a few layers of gaffer tape to cushion any knocks.

I like this one. You can attach it to your pole with a couple of tie wraps.

I use one on each pole and then I can just plug the pole into the hose from the trolley. One pole is a regular 17 foot and the other is a broom handle for tight areas or bungalows.

Just put that valve on the pole hose it does the same job and is easier to fix if anything goes wrong.
