What happens here

The host demonstrates shutting off the main water supply to the house using a quarter-turn ball valve. He emphasizes that this is a positive shut-off and more reliable than the individual manifold valves. After shutting off the water, he tests a kitchen faucet to confirm both hot and cold water are off.

Goal: Securely turn off the main water to the house.

Tools and materials

  • Kitchen faucet — Testing if the water supply is off
  • Main water shut-off valve — Turning off the water supply to the house

What they say

Hide

use a pair of pliers on this and shut it off. But for me personally I'm a fan of right here. This is actually the shut off to the house. This is a quarter turn style valve and kind of a little tricky in this whole situation inside this small closet. But shut that off right there. I know that's a positive shut off. These probably will work. I'm just not a fan. So we can come right here and we can test if the hot water is off now and it is both hot and cold they're off right because we actually can't test down here on that dishwasher
