surestop isn't a re-placement for the internal stopcock it's just an addition to the stopcock.

make sure the pipe is 22mm, not 3/4", i am not too keen on fitting a plastic surestop onto 3/4" i think it will leak at some point, you might need a couple of 22mm compression fittings onto the old pipe with the surestop fitted onto 22mm copper
