Hi! This is John on behalf of Expert Village. In this video clip, I will show you step 2
in our process of installing a ball valve. The next thing we need to do is locate our
main water shut off, and we need to go ahead and turn that ***. Remember righty tighty,
lefty loosey. This is going to shut off the water to the entire house, and hopefully we
won’t have to be doing this once we install our ball valve. We will just be able to shut
off that ball valve. The next thing that we need to do is relieve any water pressure that
is still in the lines, so you can go to any faucet in your house and turn that on and
wait till all that pressure has been relieved from the faucet. What we don’t want to have
happen is when we cut the pipe, we don’t want it to start spraying water everywhere,
so that is why we do this.
