My 1953 house doesn't have a main water shutoff valve. Is this what I need to shut off the water from the street in an emergency?

yes My shut off is under the water meter cover by the street. When I lift the cover, the valve is about one foot down. This works to shut off all water to my house.

This is what you use to turn water on or off, but there has to be a valve somewhere that you can get to. You need to verify that first and then buy a tool. This one is very strong and can do tough to turn valves.

I have a house from the same era and that is the tool that I have used to shut off city water from my house. I'm no expert but I think the shut off valves are pretty standard, so that tool should work. The tool itself is pretty solid and will last forever.

It is exactly correct for my water meters with a main shutoff valve. I would assume they are a standard size. I bought two others which were too flimsey. This is a professional type.

Yes, but you'll want to measure the depth of your valve first. Mine is well over 5 feet deep. And you'll need the correct socket for the cover.

Yes, this is what you need to shut off the water (in my case the main valve is next to the water meter) at the curb.

Their is no alarm built into the switchYou could possible add an alarm thru a contact block. This is a 16 volt switch that simply breaks the connection if water is presentThe switch is designed for shuting down a furnace or AC unit if water is present. I have mine connected to a motorized valve that shut off my city water if water is present Good luck

It SHOULD work. I know the valves open even when the water is turned off (like when we have had a couple days rain) so if you have enough pressure to push water now without a timer adding one shouldn't change anything.

not sure, I just turn off the valve, It is easier for me to do that when its raining because my unit is hidden.

I bought two valves from Lowes. Same problem at first: as long as it's hooked, water just run through. What I found was this is the default status for the valve. To solve it, you need to connect it to the timmer, adjust to manual watering for 1 min, when 1 min is up, the valve shuts off. No problem.

I would NOT recommend installing without the shut and bypass valves. It's not a question of IF you need to replace the filter, but when you need to replace, you got to shut the water off near the filter to do it. Or else you'll have water spewing out everywhere. Even if you shut the main line off outside once you remove the filter, all the water left in the line will come gushing out...don't do it. Put the valves in. Pressure gauges are not necessary, but the shut-off valves are.

In the worst case you'd have to open up the wall. However, most installations include an emergency shutoff valve accessible from the opposite side of the wall. The in wall tank is warranted for 50 years and the mechanism and shutoff are accessible from the front panel.

use the shut-off for the pipe that leads to the toilet or if necessary, use the shut-off for the water supply to the house....usually in the basement or crawlspace...if no basement or crawl space, the shut off for the house could be in a garage or below ground under a cast iron cover at the street line or somewhere between the street and the house...

The shut off switch screw has to be tight enough to be able to move the valve that allows the water to turn off and on, if the screw is too loose you won't have any control over that. The screw has to be tight enough to move the valve, but not too tight where it doesn't move at all. You may have to use some pliers to move the switch and spray some WD-40 inside to help loosen it up. I hope this helps you Ann.

You'll need another piece to have a shutoff valve. This alone is just a straight flow. I found something decent at Lowes to accompany it, but the shower action on this piece is phenomenal. Highly recommend.

Yes, shut the water off, disconnect the water hose, put a bucket underneath, loosen the valve, replace it, and it is good to go.

Can I tell you not to buy it? Doesn't help at all. We bought two. $630. Didn't do squat for 18x33 above ground. And no. No shut off valve

This is for the supply line from your house to your appliance. Not for use with pressure. Street water pressure only. Do not use this on the pressure side of a pressure washer.

You need the vent system. I used the following: "Rinnai 223176PP 12-Inch Condensing Horizontal Termination Kit" and "Rinnai 224079PP Condensing Vent Pipe Extension, 19.5-Inch" The black part of the "Termination Kit" goes outside and the elbow connects to the extension. The water valves and relief valves are included with the heater. That is it. The rest of stuff you need you can get from the hardware store.

There is no separate "water shut off valve" included as part of this set; you could buy what's referred to as a "gate valve" separately, if you wished. Or you can just turn it off using the dial on the gardena timer these attachments go with. (turn it to zero)

They have not used it yet as this pump is for emergencies only, when you lose electrical power and your main sump pump stops working. What little water it will use when needed and the resulting minimal cost will be a better option than a flooded basement.

Hi, You need one if these... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001AHZRD2/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 there are a few different variations, the one above has a cut off for hot and cold water... so that you can replace the cart rage with out shutting off all the water in the house...
