Why Stopcocks are The Heart of Your Plumbing System

In many ways, stopcocks are the key to your entire plumbing system. They control the flow of water into your home and act as a master key of sorts to turning it on and off. Stopcock can be placed anywhere throughout your plumbing system, but are usually found in a common-sense area that is easily accessible, such as:

• Under the kitchen sink
• The bathroom
• Under the stairs
• The cellar
• By the boiler

Having a functioning stopcock is vital as it means that your water can be turned off if there is damage somewhere in your system. For instance, if you have a leaking pipe, your stopcock will cut the flow of water so that the pipe will cease to disperse water and can be repaired. The best way to test if your stopcock is working is by switching on a tap anywhere in your home, then turning the stopcock clockwise. If the water cuts off, it means your equipment is functioning correctly.

If this test indicates that your stopcock is not working, or you encounter signs such as irregular water pressure, it is imperative that you have it seen to by professionals. It may be a case that your stopcock is suffering due to a build-up of dirt, or that it is an older more than has become faulty over time and has started to seize. Whatever the reason, it is essential to organise a stopcock repair or replacement before your plumbing system encounters any severe damage.
