toilet stopcock

JandS

Hi guys, our stopcock has become faulty resulting in the water not stopping the filling in the tank.

If you manually lift the stopcock it stops filling.

Any ideas of how to fix it or find a replacement?

It seems to be faulty at the hinge beside the blue thing.

Was hoping to post a photo. Will try on computer later.

It is the ballcock that is faulty, Chadwicks on Boghall road should have the valve that requires replacing or you could try Woodies but as they are a DIY it will be more expensive. Only a few euro either way.
This might help >>>>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPpcaiayE58
or look for similar youtube videos.

Cerco

Is the ball filling with water and sinking down?
If so replace it.
If it is not rising sufficiently to stop the flow you could either adjust it with the nut ( if fitted) or bend the arm slightly. Not to hard in case it breaks.


If this does not resolve then replace the valve.
