An elderly pentioner has a seized stopcock, its extremely old as i've never seen one like it so i presume its got lead pipe connected to it. the stopcock is embedded in the wall just above floor height so to replace it is going to be extremely difficult as it is as the wall is going to need to knocked out to gain access. will the stopcock more than likely be soldered onto the lead or connected by a compression fitting? if it is soldered on can i cut it out and fit a leadlock stopcock quite easily or am i opening a can of worms?
any advice on the best way to replace it would be appreciated!!
thanks in advance
