SINK COCK

A sink cock is a valve that is used to control the flow of water from the pipes to the sink. It is typically located under the sink and is used to turn the water on and off.

To use a sink cock, simply turn the handle clockwise to turn the water on, and counterclockwise to turn the water off.

If your sink cock is leaking, it is important to address the issue as soon as possible to prevent further damage. First, try tightening the packing nut to see if that fixes the leak. If that doesn’t work, you may need to replace the washer or the entire valve.

Depending on your level of plumbing experience and knowledge, you may be able to replace a sink cock yourself. If you are not comfortable doing this, it is best to hire a professional plumber to do the job for you.
