Seems I have a gate valve feeding my waterheater that you can turn and turn but never bottoms out either direction. No water flow thru the valve at all. I've heard maybe a broken stem; can this be repaired/replaced without replacing the entire valve? I think the going preference now is to use ball valves when possible. I've had so many of the other start leaking or could not shut off completely. Suggestions?
