Outdoor & Stopcocks
Outdoor plumbing refers to the plumbing systems and fixtures that are installed outside of a building, typically for outdoor water supply and irrigation purposes. Stopcocks, also known as isolation valves or shut-off valves, are used to control the flow of water to specific sections of the plumbing system, including outdoor plumbing. It’s important to note that outdoor plumbing systems and fixtures require proper maintenance and protection to prevent freezing, damage, or leaks. During colder seasons, it’s crucial to shut off and drain outdoor plumbing fixtures to prevent freezing and potential damage. Additionally, regular inspection of outdoor plumbing components, such as hoses, connections, and valves, is recommended to ensure their proper functioning and prevent water wastage or leaks.
