First I heard of this. Interesting. Convenient. Cheap insurance.

Exactly, if you're handy you can put it in yourself. As noted below--a one
finger flip and both the hot and cold water are shutoff. ?A real cheap
solution- ?All these guys who say "Never" are going to eat their words one
day.

They are exactly what you described and also inexpensive. One quick motion
and the water is off. Those valves have become really common in the past
maybe 15 years or so. I don't think I have ever seen new construction or
remodeling where they weren't used. The local real supply house has them
in the area right behind the counter with the other commonly sold stuff.

All right, I'm an idiot. How do you install the thing, assuming you get
the threaded variety? Unions above it?- Hide quoted text -

ahh somone might run their vehicle into your home, dont laugh it
happened to a realtive

electrical sort in wall from say a picture being hung on wall might
cause house fire and destroy home.

never go away from your home for more than a few hours, �furnace might
malfunction, house freeze, tons of damage.

commercial airliner might crash into your home....... do you want to
be there at the time of impact?

theres endless possible disasters, your better off having insurance,
taking care of routine maintence and not stress to much lest worrying
causes heart attack and death.

life is too short to spend it all fretting possibilties.......

An intelligent person removes any risks that are easy to mitigate. My
home has never been burglarized, and I've never had my car stolen. I
still lock both of them when I leave them. Washer hose disasters are
pretty common (ask any insurance company) and VERY easy to avoid. I
also recommend stopping for red traffic lights, and cooking pork
thoroughly.- Hide quoted text -

yeah but one could turn leaving your home for a few hours into a
production, of turn off water, turn off most breakers, set burglar
alarm, lock gate, etc etc etc.

where most people just go out the door and dont give it a second
thought.

meanwhile the careful person is causing excess wear on valves switches
etc. too many breakers on and off may cause no trip when you need it
the most

I had a braided metal hot water line to bathroom sink start leaking
pretty bad once, so those lines arent perfect. my dads water filter
split in two while he was on vacation, flooded home. thanks to
insurance it looks better than ever.

anyone leave any electrical stuff plugged in while not home?

did you know a major cause of home fires is the simple can opener?
they short somehow, and home fires are way worse than water leaks.

how about dishwashers? powered on constantly with water always on
thats a hazard too

oh asnd heres a sad one, good friends had 140K in home fire damage
after their cat knocked over a lamp, in their bedroom they were
underinsured, no coverage for possesions or living expenses, the 140
thousand was just structural damage

best get rid of all pets............ err barking dog in middle of
nite alerted foiks to next doors home on fire.........

geez maintain your home as best you can and have insurance....

beyond that chiull, too much stress makes people ill.

give me a flatened home before a heart attack or cancer.

wonder if the people worried about a washer leaking smoke?

if they do they are at so much personal health risk why concern
themselves with anything?
