Hi All
I have a stopcock that has seized open and I need to replace it but can’t work out the size.
It’s an old house, it has the number 88 on it
Does anyone know what size I should replace it with. The pipe below it is 15mm but I can’t measure the pipe above it. However it looks like it has a compression straight reducer on it.
It feels like it is welded to the wall. No give at all. The top of the pipe leading outside disappears into the wall and can’t be seen from the outside.
I just hope I can get the nut to work as there is very little pipe to play with.
Also, just above the earth wire is a T connector. It’s hard to see, but that leads to the bathroom / boiler.
So I have to replace it where it is.
Any help, much appreciated.
