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
