Hello all,
My house built in 1999/2000, has a entire house shut off valve located in an interior wall of a hall closet. Its about 30 ft from where water comes into the crawlspace and roughly 40 ft from gas water heater in the garage.
Valve isn't leaking externally, but does not fully shut the water off. When closed completely a little water drips out of some fixtures.
Enough that the water co contacted me for excess usage far above my normal usage while I was out of town for a month. Turns out a toilet was getting enough water and running 24 hrs a day.
So, I've been shutting off that valve in the closet along with all fixture shut off valves when I leave town. But that doesn't obviously shut off all my water.
And I want to make some bath tub and shower changes in the bathroom - getting rid of the huge separate jetted tub. So being able to use the shut off would be helpful.
Its a Proflo 200 WOG. I'm assuming this is a gate valve?
