Stopcock

[Pugster]

Hi,

At the weekend removed the kitchen to prep for the new one. Switched of the water supply via the stopcock and removed the kitchen sink. Since I've noticed the stopcock tap leaking water. Tried to tighten the gland nut, but the leak is still there. Question is can the gland rubber washer thingy be changed for a new one. And how do I go about it.

Thanks Pugster

Just pack the gland with PTFE tape.

While you've got the kitchen out, why not fit a new stopcock?
