I am working on a condo that was converted from an apartment 20 years ago. It was built in 1977. There are two shut off valves going to the shower in order to repair or replace the stem. They appear to be 1/2 inch male thread screwed into the copper, much like a bushing. A screw driver would then be used to turn the insert valve inside them. One of them is frozen so I may have to replace the valve.
Are they called integral valves? I have done a preliminary search online since big box stores would never carry anything like this. If anyone can tell me what they are called and maybe a place to find them. Maybe a tip to get the frozen one moving. Thanks
