Hi, I've got an old stop tap in a lead pipe (prob from 1945 ish as that's when house was built) that's stiff and the bit you turn is loose (as the pin that holds it on has snapped) so it's hard to use and may not open up again if we need to close it.
A plumber has tried to find the stopcock on the road but couldn't.
His plan was to then try to replace the top of the stopgap with a modern one, he says the threads are still imperial so there's a chance it will work.
Does that sound feasible ?
The other option is to cut the wall open and fit a new stopcock in the copper part.
Thanks
