How to replace a shut-off valve
A shut-off valve feeds one fixture. Close the valve upstream of it first.
- Close the room valve and open a tap so the pressure drops.
- Take off the old valve and clean the thread.
- Wrap tape on the new thread in the direction it turns, then tighten the new valve.
- Open the room valve slowly. A damp thread needs another half turn. If it still weeps, stop.
