Just put in a new one. Jeeeeze....




The picture you see is shooting thru a small access hole, To get in
there
with soldering torch , cutting tools, etc is going to take major work.
I
read that these things can be rebuilt without removing the body.



make the hole bigger, use a couple shark bite connectors, you're done in
15 minutes or less. And no broken off screws which lead to replacing it
anyway and being without water.

Sounds like you have all the answers


He may not have all of them-- but he has the right ones in this case.
Yet you come off like the know-it-all that asks a question and doesn't
like the [good] advice he gets so he 'bites' the hand that is trying
to feed him.

Have a nice life-

I dont remember asking how to do any of the work....

This will entail ripping out the basement interior wall and access panel
drywall and framing. Big Mess in the family room.

replacing the valve, rebuilding the wall, drywall, priming, painting which I
think will take more than 15 minutes. All of which I have plenty of
experience doing.

I only explore the possibility of rebuilding the valve. I didnt even ask
about that. I asked what model the valve might be.

MIB was the person very helpful !








this item should not be behind a wall anyway. I'd do the repair
properly and make an access panel or door for future access. Surely
it's near the main valve anyway, right? Or at least it should be.
