Yay - finished my plumbing job with success. Plan 'A' failed due to a surprise, but an innovated plan A.5 allowed me to avoid the more labour intensive plan 'B' that worked.

Problem was a leaky needle valve takeoff tap that provides water for a humidifier. It connects just above the hot water tank supply.
I want to replace the hot water tank and associated plumbing soon anyway, so any fix I wanted to avoid installing stuff that gets discarded shortly.
I pre-purchased assorted O-rings based on inspecting a new needle valve (these things are obsolete and being removed from the market).
But the surprise…
