Stopcock Size help please


Hi Guys/Girls

ive recently obtained a addition funnel without the stopcock, looking at the socket it has 4 written on it, i have tried to find the company who made the glassware "SGA Scientific inc" but have had no luck, i have UTFSE and google but all i can come out with is stopcocks wich specify "4" but this looks like it may refer to the bore size through the stopcock itself, i cant find any information with any dimensions about " "or anyone selling stopcocks buy this spec. any help to a retailer that sells by this "dimension" (or if anyone has a second hand one they would consider selling?) or a link pointing me in the correct direction would be greatly appreciated!

That says TS 4, taper standard #4. I think that is about 40 mm long on the stopcock length and it is about 15 mm diameter at the narrow end and ~18mm dia at the wider end. I likely have some used ones, if you are interested, or they sell them at several sites, at insanely high prices, one is below for example. If you want a used one, send me a u2u.

please excuse the double post, just went back to check the marking (just to be sure i wasnt starting to loose my head or sight) clearly printed "P" (please see below pic of better image). not sure what kind of spec that is or maby a misprint?. anyways, have measured the socket and have overall 30mm length, 18mm at the big end and 12mm at the small end.

Is the inside ground or smooth, it looks pretty smooth. That might be a Teflon stopcock joint, I have never seen them labelled PS, but who knows. None of the stopcocks I have are numbered but the standard Teflon stopcock on larger sep funnels is 28-29 mm long, smaller diameter end is 12mm, the larger one is 18mm in diameter. I have lots of those.
