Swapping stop tap head.

[XanderHarris]

This stop tap looks like it has had a poor repair in it in the past. Could I change just the head of this stop tap? If swap the full valve the distance the olives on the pipe maybe different.

not a plumber , but looks like a standard screwfix type tap

if you have one nearby, maybe worth measuring form the thread to thread, should give an idea

Those are both wrong, you need to know what size each pipe is.

It's 25mm to 15mm I am hoping to just change the valve head not the whole body. Is this usually doable?

Sometimes, but not always if the threads on the head are different. Is there any markings on the valve body. That nut on the 15mm end looks cockeyed in the photo.

If you only want to change it because it's leaking, maybe tightening the gland nut will stop it.

Thanks it looks like someone has had the body out before with the PTFE around it.

It says en1213 on the valve that's in

What about the nut, anything printed on that? If it’s 25mm x 15mm you could get a direct replacement and shut off outside if doable?

 

[XanderHarris]

Do you mean change the full valve? I was hoping to split the valve and change the body.

Yes, but if you can’t swap the innards, then it should be easier in the long run.
