IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Professional installation
We recommend that our products are fitted
by a fully qualified professional plumber. They
should be installed correctly and in accordance
with all local water regulations. All products and
connections should be accessible for routine
servicing.
Suits all systems
This Lefroy Brooks product is potentially
suitable for every possible application, type of
boiler and water supply pressure.
Water quality
In hard water areas, a suitable water treatment
system should be provided to prevent limescale
deposits (calcium deposits) which may eect
the long term performance of the stopcock.
Exterior surfaces should be gently wiped with a
dry soft cloth after use to minimise water stains
and limescale deposits.
Servicing
All serviceable parts are available to maintain
your Lefroy Brooks product. We recommend
periodic servicing to help maintain the best
performance from your stopcock.
Flushing system
It is most important to flush out all pipework
thoroughly before connecting the product.

Please observe the direction of flow as indicated
by the arrow on the side of the stopcock.
Both 1/2” (15mm) & 3/4” (22mm) pipes are to
be installed using the compression connections
and olives supplied.
Testing
Before the stopcock valve is sealed behind the
finished wall surface it is important to pressure/
leak check all connections.

SERVICING – REPLACING THE WASHER
1 Unscrew the gland nut fully then slide the
shroud and wall plate towards the cross
handle/handwheel. This will reveal the
headwork body.
2 Unscrew the headwork body using the
hexagon which should now be exposed.
3 If the finished wall surface is built up around
the base of the shroud the hexagon may not
be accessible. It will therefore be necessary to
remove the cross handle/handwheel.

FAULT FINDING
Water drips/flows from fittings connected to the stopcock.
• Water dripping from fittings connected to the stopcock is an indication that the washer requires
replacement. When removing the headwork take time to check the brass seat of the body for damage.
This is the area of the body that the rubber washer seals against. If left to drip for a significant period,
water can cut a channel into the brass seat. If such damage is apparent, the seat can be repaired using a
‘re-seating tool’ which is standard equipment carried by plumbers.
Replacing the washer may prevent a drip for a short period of time before it returns. This is a clear
indicator that the seat is damaged.
