shut off valve

Hi there, I'm gathering together the knowhow and materials needed to change out the fittings under my kitchen sink. (They work fine, but the insurance company thinks they look too corroded) Wanted to make sure I had my ducks in a row from people who would know. The existing shut off valves...

Hello, I am uploading two images...i think this is shut off for the outside faucet, i am not 100% sure....i am hoping it is. I need to shut it off for the winter.

Hello. So long story short I noticed my sink beginning to leak as it’s turned off. It’s an old Moen and I read I will need to replace the cartridge. I get the part, begin to turn the main shut offs under the sink and I am getting a little drop still. Can I still replace the cartridge even with...

Hi All, I am new to this forum. I need to install a new shut off valve on the wall gas connection for dryer. I recently ordered a gas dryer from HD and service folks refused to install the dryer without the shutoff valve. Please see the picture of my gas pipe on the wall. Can anyone please let...
