For those who have been following my shut off valve saga in several previous posts...
So I texted these 3 pictures of my 25-yr old main shut off valve (gate valve) to 3 plumbers who were highly recommended to me. The work is now done, the gate valve is replaced with a quarter turn. Main shut off now shuts ALL the water in less than a couple minutes.
Can you tell from these pictures if the water heater needed to be moved? That was the million dollar (or $1000) question for these guys. Take your best guess, remember they only had these 3 pics, and I'll post the answer tomorrow.
A) Definitely need to move the water heater - not enough room to access
B) Depends... Need to open up the wall and see what's behind there
C) Nope, can do the work without moving the water heater
