Another easy one for some... hot tap is dripping in kitchen do you just turn stop cock tap off and drain all water out of pipes.. and does this empty hot tank as well won't it just keep filling up .or do I have to tie ball cock up in feeder tank to stop hot water tank filling up.:confused: :confused:

Let's not make a major project out of a simple repair job. Before we can help we need to know the brand name of the faucet. What type?" Single handle or two knobs? Let us know. Tom
