water shutoff
Pipe control point
A water shutoff is a valve that stops water flow to a fixture, appliance, or entire building.
Most homes have individual shutoffs under sinks and toilets, plus a main shutoff where water enters the property.
Turn off the water shutoff before replacing the faucet.
The term also refers to the act of cutting water service: The utility sent a water shutoff notice for nonpayment.
