A shut-off valve is a special kind of water flow controlling device that safely conducts the flow of different fluids, especially liquids, gasses, and most pertinent, water itself. Shut-off valves are also called the on-off or triggering valves. In some countries, it is treated as cut-off valves, stop valves, and so on. They are responsible for safely stopping or intermittent the fluid-flowing performance. There are various types of valves like pressure valves, ball valves, gate valves, temperature control valves, globe valves, etc. But whatever the type is, all of them can stop the flow of water<\/a> into the system. Mainly it is seen on the lower left side beside the toilet in the bathroom. It normally consists of The valve body and the controlling device used to pass the different types of liquids.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Suppose you are acquainted with the accurate position of water leaking and able to identify the shut-off valve that will stop the water flow. In that case, the repairing work becomes easier to perform. A normal person without any sense of the exact location of the water leakage can not fix this acute problem. But if you know the correct position, then it becomes easier to find the way. In every toilet, the position of the shut-off valve may vary. Let us see those probable positions where this valve may be found and Possible places where the shut-off valve exists,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Shut-off valves have a wide range of usability. It is used to monitor the water flow in the toilet and the fuel\u00a0and gas shut-off valve. For making the shut-off valve, many other materials are used like <\/span>brass iron, carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, plastic or polypropylene, etc. The build-in material varies the solidarity and durability of the material. But carbon steel and iron materials are the most common in terms of durability. <\/span>There are tons of types of shut-off valves which I will try to describe,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The gate valve is the most familiar type of valve that the plumbers install. In other words, the circular handle is turned to raise or lower a metal gate inside the valve body. The strategy lies within the name itself. The gate works as the system’s controlling agent and full engagement with the water supply line. It is more like the sluice gate that administers the entry and exit of water. <\/span><\/p>\n This is probably the most available valve in the market. If we think about the main supply line of the house, then the most common thing that comes to our mind is the Ball Valve. The hole is aligned with the direction of the water pipe, allowing water to flow. The ball valve is normally turned into one-fourth directional rotation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The shut-off valve is nothing but the modified version of the previous one. This makes water shut off for temporary replacements and water construction works, but the main theme is performing the works without hampering the fixtures of the module. This type of Shut-Off Valve is ideal for those toilets where the tank is concealed in the walls.<\/span><\/p>\n This one is probably the simplest Shut-Off Valve among them all. This one is used in those places where the flow of the water should run straight to the fixtures. The flow of water here is one-directional here.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\nWhere is it located?<\/strong><\/h3>\n
