I have a kitchen faucet shut-off valve that keeps turning and does not turn off off water.
I was replacing the water filter under the sink, and the shut-off valve worked the first 3 times while doing this.
But after that, somehow when I tried to close the shut-off valve, it keeps turning with no end and does not turn off the water. I was afraid that if I keep trying turning off the water, it may leak or create some other problems. So, I stopped. The shut-off valve photos are attached.
I have 3 questions.
1. Is this the sign that the shut-off valve is broken and needs replacing? Or is there a way to fix this shut-off valve?
2. Is the shut-off valve compression fitting shut-off valve?
2. Is there a better adapter or fitting than the photo shows that connects the shut-off valve to two water line, one for the kitchen faucet and the other for the water filter line.
Thank you very much.
