Re: Greetings all - I'm a new owner
Good Morning...The model A shut off valve is pretty old technology that can be damaged easily, as you say. Bratton's sells a 1/4 turn ball valve that connects to your original shut off valve and then goes over to the fire wall...it replaces the pipe that is there now. With it you never close the original valve again...just operate the 1/4 turn ball valve...I've had one for a number of years and it works really well and does not ever drip...if your original type valve does not drip...install the new pipe and valve and never touch the original again. A friend of mine had a dripping original valve, so we changed it out and put the new one in at the same time...all has been good. Ernie in Arizona
