TELEGRAM-stiff cock stop problems stop help stop.
Not only that it's all crudded up and green and gunky!!!

Any ideas on how to ease off the stop cock valves on my pipes? The little round red handles are 'kin useless and I'm reluctant to use force (mole grips) unless necessary. I have some tap washers to change.

Is it just me who asks for help on a wide range of matters? I know there is a technology section but maybe a General Help Needed might be of use? Afterall, we have a wide range of skilled people on YD willing to give advice.

Finless,
If it's possible you could just turn the main stopcock off, which will be infront of your house (or where your supply comes in off the mains) you might need one of these?

That would be a last resort as that would mean draining the header tanks and hot water cylinder in order to change one tap washer (worst case scenario - I haven't tried all the stop cocks).

Why are they called stop cocks? Well, the STOP bit is easy but where does the COCK come into it?

Something to do with "screwing something into a hole to block it up " ?
