Stop Cock

About Stop Cock :

Stop cock is essential components in plumbing systems, providing a means to control the flow of water within pipes. By turning the handle, you can open or close the valve, stopping or allowing water flow. Angular stop cock, a specific type of this Cocks, feature a 90-degree angle, making them ideal for installations where space limited. These valves offer the same functionality as standard stop cocks but designed to fit more compact areas, efficient use of space without compromising performance.

Components of a Stop Cock :

• Handle or Wheel : The handle, often located at the top, allows the user to manually open or close the valve. By turning the handle clockwise, the valve closes, and by turning it counter clockwise, the valve opens.
• Valve Body : The valve body houses the internal mechanism and connects to the plumbing system. It is typically made from durable materials such as brass or stainless steel, ensuring longevity and reliability.
• Inlet and Outlet Ports : These ports connect this Cocks to the water supply line and the rest of the plumbing system. The inlet port allows water to enter the valve, while the outlet port directs water into the pipes.
• Nut and Packing Gland : The nut and packing gland secure the spindle and provide a seal around it. This prevents water from leaking around the spindle when the valve is in use.
