hello there,
I have a stopcock that will not budge, access is poor. the bar on the spindle is just spinning and no amount of molies and wrench`s are going to move it now as pretty mashed
The valve itself seems pretty old ( its a 50 - 60`s council block in bermonsdsey london )
one side is 15mm copper, the other side seems to be steel.3\4 i guess but i am not sure . the flow is poor and needs to be increased.
taking the body out of the valve seems a good option, does anyone have any thoughts about what size it i likely to be ...or any other ideas...obviously when i try and whip the innards out there will be a lot of water...there is no room to freeze it..
any help greatly appriciated
guy
