Replacing a WATER Shut Off Valve Under Sink.
What happens here
Locate the main water shut-off valve for your house, which is typically found near the water meter outside. Use a water meter key to insert into the valve and turn it clockwise to completely shut off the main water supply to your entire house. It is critical to confirm that the water is fully off before proceeding with any plumbing work indoors.
Goal: Isolate the house's water supply to prevent flooding during installation.
