I bought a new valve for $9.30 at Home Depot, not realizing they sold a kit for $2.98, until after I saw your video. I was going to remove the guts out of it and transplant them into my old valve, to save the hassle of solder sweating a new valve in place. Then I tried tightening the packing nut before proceeding, and that solved my problem. It was fairly loose. Mine didn't leak fully closed, but sprayed around the stem with any amount of opening. It's a 10 year old valve. Now I need to return an unused valve. Thanks for your video. It saved money and extra work!

Best you tube videos out there for people that own homes 30 years or older. My house was built in 1965. I was afraid to to remove the shut off valve completely since it was a DIY project. I listened carefully to everything you said about old valves and I immediately realized I am that home owner that has those old pipes and fittings. I turned the nut a little bit on the valve (like u said) and it fixed the leak...than I had to deal with the fact that the valve which could not stop the water coming into the tank was still an issue so I fiddled with the hand knob on the shut off valve a few times, back and forth to break the old water deposits free (you say on your video) and it WORKED! The water shut off stopped filling the tank (when I didn't want it to). This project could have become a major ordeal because of the age of my home. I'm so glad that I found your video...I'm subscribing.

Thank you so very much!! This was extremely helpful for me. Out of nowhere, the hot water in my kitchen sink was barely coming out. In trying to flush the hot water line, I realized my shut off valve wouldn't shut the water off all the way. I thought I was going to have to replace the whole thing, and was concerned about fit/it being outside my zero-knowledge-of-plumbing wheelhouse. I came across this video, took my valve apart, and discovered that the smaller washer on the inside had disintegrated. I had to pull it out in pieces to remove it. Got the recommended stem repair kit, used only the washers since the branding was different, and put it all back together. I then flushed the hot water line to remove any washer remnants (and got some out!). Finally, reconnected and turned the hot water back on. Everything works perfectly! No dripping, no low water pressure, back to normal. For $3 and a few minutes vs. a plumber call and/or major hassle replacing the whole valve (which I wouldn't have anticipated until hearing your reasoning on why repairing is so much better. Definitely a recipe for major frustrations and headaches.). I so appreciate you putting this online to help folks like me. Thank you so much!!!!

Great video! I was all psyched up to replace the 60 multi-turn compression cutoffs in our house, which is 65 years old. It has the galvanized iron supply lines throughout. I had our handyman come over and look at just the kitchen sink that has a total of five cutoffs. He took one look at it and said just to rebuild the existing cutoffs. He did all five, which included two multiturn globe valves replacing the rubber washers and they are all as good as new. After seeing your video about the problems with replacing them on older galvanized iron supply lines, I think we're just going to rebuild the rest over a period of time. We did have one toilet supply line that he wrestled with for an hour to get loose because of all the corrosion and we ended up having to buy a new valve and steel flex line for it but not having to replace the nipple.

Everywhere I looked the only answer was to replace the valve. Thank goodness I saw your video. And I'd watched at least ten. Thank you!. Had to go to 3 Home Depots but I found the kit. Solved the problem of a valve I could not turn off in order to install new flooring and a new comfort height toilet. Common wisdom is-- it is not cost effective to rebuild. The hard to find kit was $3 and saved me a $150 visit from a plumber to replace the valve. My valve is soldered onto a very short piece of copper pipe. To replace the valve myself I'd have to buy a pipe cutter or a torch to weld more pipe onto the stub. Both cost more than $3. This solution was the cost effective option for me. The fix was quick and easy, less than 10 minutes. I set the pieces on the floor in the order I took them off. Hardest parts were finding my Phillips screwdriver, working upside down and left handed (I'm right handed). All this trouble caused by a squished and deformed washer. Next visit to HD I will get a couple of washers now that I know the right size. I already have an extra kit. : ) Once again, thank you for posting.

WOW! Thanks so much for this video! I thought I'd need to replace the Brass Craft multi-turn shut offs under our sinks since so many of them are very hard to turn and a few aren't shutting the water off completely. I found my bonnet washer in a very degraded condition inside the valve and replaced it with a washer from my stash. I did not order the HD kit yet but am doing so now - will order a bunch to replace the rest of the problem shut offs. Only issue I had following your directions was that my threaded plastic stem would not unscrew without lots of help from a wrench so I mangled it a bit during removal. So will replace the damaged one when I get the kits from HD. And in the interim I'll have no leaks from the shut off with faucet disconnected in preparation for a new countertop install tomorrow.

You can also just get the washers to repack the shutoff valve. Works most of the time but you have to make sure that you have all the old washers out. In my case, I just had to replace the washers responsible for shutting the valve off. He is absolutely right about not wanting to replace the entire valve. Lot of instances where that might not be a good idea. In my case, I was working with Quest. With all the problems that's been had with Quest, I really did not want to disturb the joint holding on the valve.

You da-man! Seriously, having looked at this issue from many points of view, you nail it. Thanks so much! Update: I put in two new bathroom sink faucets that all four valves leaked when turning them off then continually leaked after turning them back on. The rebuild kit worked on two of them, a third one slightly leaked in between full on and off so I tightened the front nut even more and it helped but the fourth one the kit would not screw in as the other 3 did. It's a very hard one to get to and I have to do everything by feel so when I forced the kit to screw in, it didn't sit right. I took it out then back in straight as can be, and it leaked. I bought another kit I'll install tomorrow.

Nice video! I rebuilt a BrassCraft dual multi-turn shut off valve when I got a new dishwasher (was on the hot supply under kitchen sink; one side went to faucet, the other to dishwasher). Old valves wouldn't even turn. Priced a new valve at around $35, which seemed steep to me. Needed two (2) stem repair kits (one for each side of valvle; about $4/each) and rebuilt it. Was actually easier to remove the entire valve (compression fitting on copper pipe; not much corrosion) and rebuild it on my workbench as opposed to trying to rebuild it under the kitchen sink where valve was installed. Problems were old stiff washers and mineral deposits. Cleaned up valve housing, installed stem repair kits and now it's working fine.

Thanks for the suggestion to tighten the packing nut and will try that first. Bought a house where the inspectors noticed moisture, but couldn't nail it down. Found a tub drain installed wrong, sink drain installed wrong, shower drain installed wrong and blown frost free faucet. But couldn't quite figure out where the water seeping out between the linoleum was coming from. We weren't using the bathroom. As I turned it off today, one drop of water hit my finger. It appears that the drip on the toilet shutoff valve was directly above the seam in the linoleum and channeled it all the way across the bathroom.

@@AroundTheHome1 Ready for some laughs? I "found" the gas shutoff (at the meter) before I found the water shutoff (near the street). When disconnecting the existing stop valve, accidentally torqued the valve screw the wrong direction to the point where the pipe rotated a degree or two, I was really worried that I damaged an inaccessible (wo cutting) connection behind my sink cabinet but seems all is well. Got the valve off, was about to do the repair and guess what I found inside the valve? Two little pebbles inside the valve housing that were the cause of the malfunction. Re-installed all plumbing including hot water tank that I thought I had fixed. Turned water back on, thought everything was swell but hot water tank still leaked. But now thankfully with a working shutoff valve was able to disconnect easily. My remaining problem was getting a good connection on the lifter line that goes up to the water tap, had to re-seat the gasket and then pre-wind the riser line because it was getting torqued as I was tightening down the nut and essentially unwinding it. Returned my un-needed repair kit and got my $3.80 back (offsetting the $3.80 in gas I burned to return the kit ;)). All is ok now, no leaks and I'm back to where I started, now just need to either repair my hot water tank or buy a new one then install. Hope this isn't TMI :).

@@AroundTheHome1 I just figured since the multi-turn could be rebuilt that there was a way to replace the core that is inside the body with a ball that is a 1/4 turn. A multi-turn controls the flow from a trickle to wide open. The 1/4 turn can do that too as 1/32, 1/16, 1/8 or 1/4 turn ? You're really not forced to go valve wide open with either type ? So why couldn't someone make an insert for the body of the valve that is the 1/4 turn ball type that would replace the multi-turn ? I've seen 3/8 & 1/4 inch water lines and that doesn't seem to be an issue with water pressure, just how much flow and how long it takes to refill the bowl & tank. I don't care so much how long after a flush it takes to refill bowl & tank, that many gallons of water is what it is ? The city water charges by the gallon not by how long it takes to fill the bowl & tank with the same amount of water. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2fMk2WgeayhgMk

Also Hot and cold will not shut off screwed all the way in.🤷🏼♂️ And there is no room to cut off the brass pipe it is to short. Should I just call a plumber? Also they are not hard to turn at all they’re just unresponsive. Video is excellent I’m just wondering if it will work for me sounds like mine is too far gone.

If they are easy to turn, but will not turn off and may have a pressure problem, it sounds more like the rubber flat seal has rotted and come loose. So, this fix might be just what you need. Though you would need to find the rubber flat seal if it was not all there. Now, you said it is attached to a brass pipe. Is it brass or copper?

Honestly, if you are not used to working with copper and you don't think the rebuild will work and there is no extra pipe to cut off, then I would call a plumber. There are ferrule pullers, but you don't always get a lock back on with the new one. Hopefully that helps.

Is it possible to repair a leaky quarter turn valve stem that's leaking at the handle? Mine is a quarter turn type valve. I don't want to replace the entire valve, but just to tighten it so it stops leaking at the handle, as you did here in the video.
@AroundTheHome14 жыл бұрын
Most quarter turn valves that I know of don't use a packing material like the multi-turn valves. They use an "O" ring on the handle stem. You can try to take it apart. Make sure the water to your whole house is turned off, take off the handle on the shut off valve. Then see if there is any kind of nut keeping the stem in place.

I did turn the nut that you showed in this video to move it towards the back of the wall, but stopped for fear of breaking something.

First of all, thank you for your question. I am not 100% sure what you have done already. If you have tightened the packing nut, which is the nut by the handle stem, then you did not need to do that. Also, even though I said it in the video, please make sure to hold the valve steady while tightening anything so that you do not damage any pipes. If your valve is not turning the water off all the way then the only way to fix it is to take it apart and replace that stem washer. Some call it a flat washer. Did that answer your question?

This situation could easily get out of control given that this is connected to your main water line. I have not honestly every used a ferrel puller and don't know how well it would come off without damaging the pipe along the way.

Joe, I have come across your problem before. Most of the time the rubber flat washer comes loose and stays in a closed position. It is possible that something else happened. You might also disconnect the supply line from the toilet and then put it in a small bucket then turn the shut off back on and see if anything comes out. Sometimes, depending on your pipes, a piece of build-up in the pipes breaks loose and gets lodged in the fill valve. If you still have no water then try this. Let me know how this goes for you.

Joe, it does sound like a bit of a problem with this shut off. Try this. Shut off your main water. Take the shut off apart again. Then have someone with a bucket and some towels standing over the shut off. Then turn the main water on again. Not on full, just a little. See if water is making it through the shut off first. If that is working then turn off the main water. Put the shut off back together and try and get something to catch water at the end of your supply line, assuming it is separated from the fill valve. Then turn the main water on again, little bit. If that is working then the clog is in the shut off. If you got stopped at the first step and no water is making it through the shut off when it is taken apart then you have a clog inside your pipes and it is probably time to call a plumber.
