You mean you have to shut off whole house water supply? Don't have a
water cock right under the tank just to shut off water going to
tank?what kinda plumbing is that?


A valve that hasn't been turned in years is likely to get stuck and be
no better than no valve at all. It could be worse. It could leak on the
floor.


I'll admit, I fail to exercise my various shut off
valves around the home. Likely to be a problem when
they are needed.

Rading your "no better than no valve at all" reminds
me of the old limerick about differnt sizes. How about
a rewite?

There was an old man from alt home repair
Whose valve was not turned, I declare
One was rotted and small
T'was no valve at all
The other won several prizes.
