Hi Guys, as title says, need to change this type of stopcock, just after a bit of advice!
Obviously isolate the water into the house from the main stopcock, are these just push fit? I assume I dont need to use and sealing compounds, tape etc? Just ensure I use the insert thing?
The stopcock comes into the house through what looks like a short piece of guttering downpipe, with not much room for manouvering! Will the new one push onto the rising main into the house easily? obviously there will be a bit of flex in the pipe, and wont be that easy to get a hand on it to apply upward pressure.
Look forward to your replies.
Many thanks
