Valve Shut-Off

A shut off valve is a plumbing fixture that can turn off the water in your home. Individual shut off valves can usually be found behind or underneath the appliance in your home. Your main water shut off valve is typically going to be along an outside wall that faces your street. It is important to know where your main shut off valve is in case you need to turn off your water to make repairs. Outside your home will be another shut off at the water meter. You will need a water meter key to access this, which can be purchased at a local hardware store.
