Doing The Work Is The Best Way To Learn...We changed Some Hard Angle-Stops!
What happens here
Return to the main water shut-off valve outside and slowly turn it counter-clockwise to gradually restore the water supply. It's important to open it slowly to prevent water hammer (a banging noise in the pipes). Once the water is fully on, return to the newly installed angle stops and thoroughly inspect them for any drips or leaks. Listen for any hissing sounds and feel around the connections for moisture. If any leaks are detected, gently tighten the compression nuts further until the leak stops.
Goal: Gradually restore the main water supply and thoroughly check all newly installed fittings for any signs of leaks.
