Dripping drain cock

[lulu_duffle]

Hi,

How do a I fix this please? It's dripping once every 5 minutes. Thought about replacing the washer but the whole thing seems corroded. Would I need to swap for a bit of copper pipe with a new drain cock attached or could I use a bit of push fit pipe with a push fit end?

Thank you in advance

Fit a new one

Yes. How? Do they come as a drain cock with bit of pipe attached?

Show us a picture of yours.
Drain cocks don't come attached to pipes,they have to be fitted to your pipework .

You would need to connect a new drain cock to a short piece of pipe and replace it into the Tee.
If you clean off the gunge ,check that the leak isn't from higher up ( at the Tee) and dripping down onto the drain cock.

Thank you. Do I need copper pipe and copper drain cock or plastic pipe and copper drain cock please?

If you know how to solder , use copper pipe ( the drain cock is brass ,by the way) and a soldered coupler.If you don't, Use a compression coupler, copper pipe and brass drain cock.
If soldering ,remove the rubber seals from the drain cock prior to.
