shutoff valves

Pipe isolation controls

Shutoff valves are devices that completely stop the flow of liquid or gas through a pipe or line.

They're installed at key points in plumbing, gas, and industrial systems so that sections can be isolated for repairs or emergencies.

Most homes have shutoff valves under sinks, behind toilets, and near the water heater, plus a main shutoff valve that controls water to the entire house.

Turn off the shutoff valve before replacing the faucet.
