Looking for an Imperial 25mm stop cock to replace 30 year old one with faulty valve.
Anonymous user 28/02/2024 - 3.27 PM
Need to find a new imperial 25mm stop cock to replace the one that has been in place for 30 years. Tried usual plumbers suppliers but no luck. Don't want to do any further plumbing on this one just a straight swap. Have a new boiler job planned for later this year. Any suggestions for a supplier? Thanks

Slightly confused as imperial is feet, inches, yards, miles, chains, furlongs, etc and 25mm is metric.
eBay for 25mm stopcock:

eBay for the nearest imperial is 1 inch Not so many but it's worth a look:

In terms of old copper pipe size Imperial was the former British standard being 1" & 3/4" nominal bore the modern equivalent is 28mm & 22mm.
Just buy a good quality 22mm stop cock such as link below:

Hi buy yourself a 28mm compression stopcock and get yourself metric to imperial olives and use some plumbers paste around the olive and compression joint and job done 👌
