Hi everyone,
Thanks for reading this post, I hope you can help.
I’d like to replace the stock cock under my sink as it leaks a littler when I turn it off (funnily enough it’s okay when I turn it on).
I’m fairly new to plumbing but would love to try and replace it myself. Can I just check I’m following the right process?
Firstly, I plan to turn off the mains stop cock on the road. Then, I plan to turn on the taps on in my flat (to get rid of any dead water). After that, I’m hoping I can then remove the old stop cock and put on a new one.
Does this all sound okay? Have I missed anything?
Can I expect any water to come out when I remove the stop cock? I’m not sure this is relevant, but I live in a top-floor flat (so no piping above me).
Thanks again,
Martin
