shut off valve

I want to replace shutoff valves with quarter turn valves. I've run into two issues. 1. I can't find dual outlet shutoff valves that are quarter turn. Ideally, I would like the outlets to be at 90 degrees of each other (not 180 degrees). 2. All the dual outlet shutoff valves that I've found...

Hi there, I'm gathering together the knowhow and materials needed to change out the fittings under my kitchen sink. (They work fine, but the insurance company thinks they look too corroded) Wanted to make sure I had my ducks in a row from people who would know. The existing shut off valves...

Hello, I am uploading two images...i think this is shut off for the outside faucet, i am not 100% sure....i am hoping it is. I need to shut it off for the winter.

In a conventional system, the standard arrangement is to have a gate valve on the (typically 28mm) cold feed pipe from cistern to cylinder. Out of curiosity, I was wondering why you won't find it on the hw pipe (typically 22mm) going out of the cylinder instead. Of course, positioned after the...

I want to install a sprayer with the toilet. In order to do that I need to shut off the water supply to the toilet. But my shut off valve is not working when I move it clockwise. How can I install it while shut off valve is still supplying water? I thought about using bucket or similar...

Seeking second opinions on whether joints/connections look secure. Recently had a plumber do the following: (1) Remove corrugated copper pipes and solder on male adapters for stainless-steel connector. (2) Remove old cold-water supply shut off valve and solder on lead-free copper-alloy ball...

Hello. So long story short I noticed my sink beginning to leak as it’s turned off. It’s an old Moen and I read I will need to replace the cartridge. I get the part, begin to turn the main shut offs under the sink and I am getting a little drop still. Can I still replace the cartridge even with...

Hi All, I am new to this forum. I need to install a new shut off valve on the wall gas connection for dryer. I recently ordered a gas dryer from HD and service folks refused to install the dryer without the shutoff valve. Please see the picture of my gas pipe on the wall. Can anyone please let...

How can I tell if these water mater valves are gate valves or the other kind with the washer and seat? Also do gate valve go bad or do they just need to be repacked? Thanks, Artie.
