2 Questions:
1.) Anyone know what this Main Water Shut-off Valve's parts are?
2.) Good place to order them online?
Anyone familiar with the names of these fittings, and how they go together? I don't understand if I'm looking at one 90degree stop valve with a compression fitting x female thread, OR if the valve is a separate part number from the compression fitting part and they mate? If anyone can tell me what I'm looking for and even where to get it, I'd really appreciate it.
I attached a couple of notated pics. If I can figure out these parts I'll try to do it myself and change it out for a ball valve. Otherwise, I'll have to call a plumber.
I shut the water off to finish a repair on a ruptured sill cock (left hose on through the winter), and actuating that main shut-off valve has made the leak worse. I didn't try tightening the nut because this valve has so much mineralization, I don't know if it's going to break or make the leak much worse if I start messing with it. It's now spraying even a little. This is still not an alarming leak, and so I am thinking about replacing the valve if I can source the parts.
Thank you in advance for any help!
