Hi Guys
I'm trying to turn off my external stopcock. It's an ancient one but I've got it moving. I'm leaving the kitchen tap on to see when the water stops, and what happens is the water keeps coming off and on as the stopcock rotates. It's as if the stopcock is acting like one of those isolating valves that you just keep turning until it's in the right position. Does that sound right to you or could the stopcock be busted? (I thought the external stopcock would screw right in or out to shut off/turn on, like a normal stopcock).
Any advice appreciated.
