However, they're in pretty bad shape and leaking a bit as I was turning them to the off position. I need to find replacement stems for them, but I'm not sure how to...

    What Model is this Ball Valve?

    I'm wondering if anyone recognizes this ball valve brand. I'd really want to avoid installing a new valve just for not having a handle :( I've included a few pictures to help visualize this. This is the main-water ball valve that didn't have the handle when I bought the place. However, I've...

    Does this valve need replaced or just tightened?

    I have a leaky radiator valve in my house. I've tried just tightening up the nut, but I'm really struggling to move it. Just wondering if tightening is all that's needed or did this valve need replaced? Hopefully it's clear from the photos that there is a lot of black oxidisation on the valve...

    Question regarding replacement of Superior 3/4” brass sprinkler valve

    Hi, I called my gardener when one of the valves in the front yard started leaking. He replaced the top part with Superior brand, and charged $150. I’m not handy, so I can’t do this myself. I’m in Los Angeles. Does that price seem reasonable? Thanks in advance, Bonnie

    I've read what I could about this topic and have made a number of changes but still have the problem. I am renovating a house and one of the showers I ran 1/2" PEX from the valve to the shower head. When I turned on the tub faucet it would drip quite a lot from the shower head. I never...

    How do I turn off these valves?

    I'm trying to shut off the sink so I can fix the leaky faucet.... but these valves on this particular sink are different than all the others in my house. Picture 1 looks like you'd turn it 90 and it would shut off, however it just spins in circle. So I thought maybe it was a push pull but as you...
