Replacing an outside tap

[DEL 707]

I've just replaced a outside tap, because the old one stopped working.

All working and no leaking, so far.

I need to patch up the holes in the brick left by the old tap and secure the new tap to the wall.

To patch up the holes, I was going to use this stuff.

But as for securing the tap to the wall, what kind of screws, rawlplugs should I grab?

As usual, when ever I try DIY, i break more stuff then I fix.

I took the new tap off so I could fill in the old holes, which went o.k.

Put the new tap back on and went to screw it to the wall, but now I have several problems.
The masonary screws I bought are too big to go through the fitting holes, so I need to order a smaller diameter.
The new tap also sits away from the way. What can I use to close the gap between the wall and the tap?

Unfortunately, that's the least of my concerns, the tape now has a *very* slow leak. I put some PTFE tape around the thread and tightened as hard as I could.
Now the new tap did come with a new nut and what ever the thing next to it is.

I couldn't replace the nut, think it would require removing the pipe, and that other thing won't actually fit on, it makes the tape sit too high and I can't get to the nut to reach.


Now my biggest concern is my mains stopcock, it has started to to leak. Only thing I've done is turn it off and on.

I tried wrapping it on tape, because at this point, why the **** not.

Can anyone help?

Thank you everyone for the replies.

Can anyone give me a link to a new stopcock?
