What are those shutoffs called? I can't locate them, and mine are stuck. I'm rebuilding my shower and need to repair the faucet mechanism, and I'd rather use those as shutoffs than the main. I've heard they are the cause of leaks because the gaskets fail easily. Should I even bother replacing them if there are no leaks but they dont functions as shutoffs?
Thanks all!
