Product Information

Full details

The Plumbright Stopcock 22mm is a reliable plumbing essential designed for homeowners and professional tradespeople who need to control water flow within domestic or commercial piping systems. Its primary benefit is the ability to quickly isolate water supplies for maintenance or emergency repairs without requiring complex tools or hot work, though users should ensure their pipework diameter is exactly 22mm to ensure a watertight fit.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this require solder?

No, this is a compression fitting that uses a metal olive to create a seal.

Can I use this on 15mm pipe?

No, this stopcock is specifically engineered for 22mm pipe diameters.

Is this suitable for hot water pipes?

Yes, it is designed for use in standard domestic hot and cold water systems.

Do I need plumbers tape on the olive?

No, the compression olive is designed to create a metal-to-metal seal without the need for thread seal tape.

Where should I install the stopcock?

It should be installed in an easily accessible location so it can be reached quickly in an emergency.

Troubleshooting

Slow drip from the compression nut

Ensure the pipe is cut square and the olive is seated correctly. Tighten the nut slightly more with a wrench.

Valve handle is stiff or hard to turn

Ensure no mineral buildup is affecting the stem; if stiff, the valve may need to be replaced if it cannot be freed through normal operation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • No soldering or professional welding required for installation
  • Easy to operate for quick water isolation
  • Compatible with standard 22mm rigid copper pipework
  • Durable build quality for long-term reliability

Cons

  • Limited to 22mm diameter pipe systems only
  • Requires proper tightening of nuts to prevent leaks
  • Must be installed in an accessible location for emergency use

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure the pipe is clean, round, and free from debris. Slide the compression nut and olive onto the pipe, then insert the pipe fully into the stopcock body. Tighten the nut by hand until firm, then use a wrench to complete the seal—usually another half to three-quarters of a turn. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the olive. Periodically check the valve by turning it off and on to ensure the internal mechanism remains free-moving and does not seize up over time.
