Design: Stop cocks are typically designed with a handle or lever that, when turned, opens or closes the valve mechanism inside. This controls the flow of water through the pipe connected to it.

Location: Stop cocks are commonly found at various points in a plumbing system:

• Main Water Supply: Often located where the main water pipe enters a building, allowing the entire water supply to be shut off.
• Individual Appliances or Fixtures: They can also be installed at specific points to isolate water supply to a particular area or appliance, such as under sinks, behind toilets, or near washing machines

Types: Stop cocks come in different types based on their design and usage:

• Compression Stop Cock: Commonly used in residential plumbing, where a washer inside the valve compresses against a seat to stop the flow of water.
• Quarter-Turn Stop Cock: Modern designs that require only a quarter turn of the handle to fully open or close the valve, which reduces wear and tear on the mechanism.
• Material: They are typically made of HPEP, which is durable and resistant to corrosion, ensuring longevity and reliability.
• Function: The primary function of a stop cock is to allow for the isolation of water flow, either for maintenance purposes or in case of emergencies such as leaks or repairs.
• Maintenance: Regular inspection and maintenance of stop cocks are important to ensure they operate smoothly and remain leak-free. Lubricating the valve mechanism and replacing worn washers or seals as needed helps maintain functionality.
