What happens here
Install a new ProPress ball valve on the cold water line leading into the water heater. The valve shown is a 'ProPress' brand, and the installation is performed using a 'Ridgid RP 115' tool. Ensure the valve is oriented correctly to go with the flow of water (downwards into the water heater).
Goal: Install a new, accessible shut-off valve on the cold water intake line.
