    Thank you SOOO much for this video. I located the lever but wasn’t sure which way to turn it off because it’s high up in a dark closet. I finally stuck my iPhone camera with the flash on up there and figured out which way to turn it and gave it a hefty push and now I can sleep tonight!

    I am so glad to see your videos. I am trying to figure out how to cut off hot water to my bathroom sink to take off cut off value and replace hopefully 😮 I don't see this box around my house but it is one belongs to the county that I don't have any key. I'm screwed I guess or maybe ask can county cut water off for me and hear them quote $$ of course. With all this how was a plumber going to get the valve replaced??? Can we ask to purchase a key? How did you get one? Please advise 😢 or can I just cut off hot water tank and no water will gush out when I cut copper hot water pipe only?

    This has performed exactly as desired ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx8G49mV71sAzUl9shXyLW-r3XgHH9EVh1 . Basically, instant hot water instead of waiting up to two minutes as it was before. I have had this installed almost exactly one year now and just replaced the anode which is pictured. I pulled it out at six months and cleaned the heating element and removed debris. I would recommend a cleaning every six months and an anode replacement yearly. A mild citric acid and water solution soak really helps clean the heating element and tank. It must be fully disassembled to do the cleaning and that is not difficult but could have been made easier with a couple of design changes but no big deal.

      You should know how to shut down water, power, and gas in your home. Take the time to learn BEFORE letting your home flood or burn while you stand around is really on YOU. That said, they should have done the service call as expected and at least shut it down or told you how.

    • @maiplumbing653
      @maiplumbing653 3 роки тому

      Hi there - Yes if your shower is a one handle fixture it is pressure controlled. If you shut off the hot water, the pressure in the hot lines also subsides to that fixture coming from the hot water lines, therefore it will cause your one handle, pressure controlled fixtures to not work. For a one handle pressure controlled fixture to work it must have both hot and cold water lines feeding it. But if you have 2 handle fixtures (fixtures that have separate cold and hot handles) you should still be able to use the cold side even with the hot water turned off. I hope this makes sense!

    Don't know if you'll see this, but what if I just turn off that cold shut off without first turning off the whole house? I don't know how to turn off the whole house. I hope to call a plumber in the morning, but I thought if I could stop that hot water from running, I could do without hot for a little while. Do I have to turn off the whole house first? Thanks if you see this!

    • @maiplumbing653
      @maiplumbing653 3 роки тому

      Hey there - Yes you can turn off the shut off on the cold water feed to the water heater to turn off the hot water to fixtures past the water heater. That way you can still leave the water on to your house, still have cold water, but you just would not have hot water throughout the house until you turned the water supply back on to the water heater. Thank you for watching!

I couldn't figure out how to do that, though. He said if I left the water heater on and turned off the supply to it, the water heater would eventually blow up. Anyway, he was able to come fix the leak for me today, so that's good.
