Stopcock Cosy
Model: SC1, SC2, SC3
This product is designed to help protect your stopcock valve from freezing in icy weather conditions. Your stopcock valve is usually located just outside the property boundary (on the footpath) and is used to restrict or isolate the water supply to your property.

This valve can be prone to freezing in extreme cold weather resulting in the loss of water to the home. The stopcock cosy fits over your stopcock and once fitted correctly helps prevent water or freezing cold air from freezing the stopcock and the water supply.

Features:
  • Easy to fit/simple to remove
  • Made from “closed cell” material, having :
  • Super Insulating Properties
  • Water Tightness
  • Flexibility

Fitting Instructions
 

Outside the home on the footpath there is a stopcock cover which allows access to your stopcock. The Stopcock cosy fits over your stopcock and once in position it prevents water or freezing cold air from freezing the stopcock and the water supply.

Open the stopcock cover.

Remove any dirt or debris from around the stopcock.

Measure the height from the bottom of the valve to the top of the housing - if the stopcock valve is up high then you may need to cut off some of the material from the bottom of the Stopcock Cosy so it will fit using a sharp knife or scissors.

Push around the sides at the bottom of the Stopcock Cosy into the housing.

Twist the Stopcock Cosy from side to side and downwards - if it feels tight try using a little washing up liquid.

When the top of the Stopcock Cosy is fully inside the housing then close the stopcock cover.

NB It’s essential that the Stopcock Cosy forms a snug fit inside the stopcock housing so it can perform effectively as an air-tight and water-tight barrier to the cold air, surface water and ground.






Detailed Fitting Instructions and Tips

Identifying the Stopcock Cover and Type
The stopcock cover is usually located on the footpath in front of the entrance to your driveway or just outside your front door (if you have no garden).

If the house was built since 2000 or you have had work done on the stopcock by your local council since 2000 then it will more than likely be a 'meter-ready' stopcock. It will measure approx 7" with an oval or circular lid. This will requir
