How To Replace A Water Shut Off Valve Under A Sink
What happens here
Return to the main water meter and turn the main water supply back on. Once water pressure is restored, slowly open the hot water faucet in the sink to allow air to escape from the pipes. Carefully inspect all plumbing connections, including the newly installed angle stop and any existing ones, for signs of leaks. The plumber discovers the other angle stop (which was not replaced) was also 'crazy loose' and tightens it with pliers, highlighting the importance of checking all related connections.
Goal: Turn the main water supply back on, then slowly open the sink's hot water faucet to release air. Finally, check all connections for leaks and tighten any loose fittings.
