Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is WRAS approval?

WRAS approval means the product has been rigorously tested and meets the Water Regulations Advisory Scheme standards for use in contact with public water supplies in the UK. It ensures the product is safe for drinking water.

Can I use this stopcock on a gas line?

No, this stopcock is specifically designed and approved for water systems only. It should never be used for gas applications.

How do I operate the stopcock?

Turn the handle clockwise to close (shut off water flow) and counter-clockwise to open (allow water flow). Ensure the handle is turned fully to either position for a secure seal.

What is the temperature and pressure rating?

While specific ratings are not provided in the product description, compliant brass stopcocks are generally designed for standard domestic hot and cold water systems within typical pressure and temperature ranges.

Does it come with instructions?

The product typically includes basic installation guidance. For detailed steps and safety information, refer to professional plumbing guides or consult a qualified plumber.

Can I replace the handle if it breaks?

Replacement parts for stopcock handles are generally not available. If the handle is damaged, the entire stopcock unit would likely need to be replaced.

What is the warranty period?

Warranty information is typically detailed by the retailer. Please check the product packaging or consult the retailer for specific warranty terms.

Troubleshooting

Stopcock is leaking from the connection point

Ensure the pipe is fully inserted and seated correctly. Check the pipe end for damage or debris. If the issue persists, the stopcock may need to be replaced.

Water flow is not completely shut off

Ensure the valve handle is turned to the fully closed position. Debris trapped in the valve seat can sometimes prevent a complete seal. In rare cases, the valve may be worn and require replacement.

Difficulty pushing pipe into the fitting

Verify that you are using a 22mm pipe and that it is clean, square-cut, and free of burrs. A small amount of silicone-based lubricant on the pipe end can sometimes ease insertion.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable and long-lasting due to brass construction.
  • Certified safe for use with drinking water.
  • Complies with relevant European safety standards.
  • Straightforward installation process.
  • Reliable control over water flow.

Cons

  • Specific 22mm size may not fit all plumbing systems.
  • Requires compatible pipe material for push-fit connection.
  • Brass may tarnish over time if exposed to certain water conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the main water supply is turned off before installation. Clean the end of the 22mm pipework. Insert the pipe fully into the push-fit end of the stopcock until it is seated securely. For optimal performance, ensure the pipe is cut squarely and free from burrs. A slight twist when inserting can help seat the seal.

Compatibility: This stopcock is designed for 22mm diameter plumbing pipes. It is compatible with copper, PEX, and other plastic pipes suitable for push-fit connections, provided they meet the correct dimensional standards. Always check pipe compatibility before attempting to install.

Care: The Primaflow Brass Stopcock requires minimal care. Periodically check for any signs of leakage around the connection. If the handle becomes stiff, a small amount of lubricant suitable for plumbing applications may be used. Avoid using abrasive cleaners on the brass finish.
