A stopcock is a valve that controls the flow of water through a pipe. It is commonly used to turn the water supply on or off, either to a single appliance or to the entire plumbing system of a building. Stopcocks are typically located where the water supply enters a home or building, allowing one to shut off the water in case of a leak, repair, or emergency. By turning the handle or knob, one can easily control the flow of water to prevent waste or damage.
