Adding Shutoff Valves to a New Kitchen Faucet
By MobileHomeRepair.com
That kitchen faucet has driven you crazy for too long. It's time for it to go. You buy a new faucet, then reach underneath to shut-off the waterly to discover no shut-off valves on the waterlines. So that does it! If your going to do the job, you're going to do it right. New shut-offs and a new faucet are in order.
If you don't already have shut-offs, adding them at the time you replace a faucet makes good sense. That way, if your new faucet ever drips or leaks, you can shut it off without having to shut the water off to the whole house. OK, let's get started.
