Best type and make of replacement Stopcock

[Dodgyrog]

Hi, any recommendations on best make and type to replace this old seized, leaking stopcock? I don't want to scrimp.

I'd prefer quarter turn unless advised otherwise. Would also prefer to go plastic pipe after the tap but again happy to take advice.

Also just trying to understand how the lower compression fitting section is fitted to that upper larger nut, will there be a stub screwed in to that larger upper nut which will need replacing as well to give a clean stub to fit back on to?


TIA

Peglar stop tap.

1.40 in shows you connection.

Can you not free up and clean the one you have?

Thanks for that, I’ll go for the Pegler by the looks of it.

My existing tap is slightly different to the one in the video, that one looks to have the 25mm connection directly on the bottom of the tap whereas mine looks to have a smaller 15mm compression fitting on top of the larger fittings as per photo below.

I’m wanting to change as it’s a 50 year old install and everything else in the kitchen is being replaced brand new so was a peace of mind thing really. I’ll have a look to see how fixable it is, if I can avoid then no prob.

Cheers

Yes.
Yours looks 25mm to 15mm then the tap.
Is it stuck and not working?

This is what you have now, if you want to replace everything, https://www.bes.co.uk/stop-cock-adaptor-mdpe-25-mm-to-15mm-outside-dia-tail-11329/

A new 15mm lever valve "should" fit on to the existing 15mm nut though.

Go 1/4 turn - most are decent. Just make sure it's suitable for potable water

Ah. Missed that.
It's just a case often of force turning to free up.
Then a tiny nip of the nut and the button of the turning shaft as they all leak there a bit.
If that works leave it.
