A device in a pipe that controls whether water or gas flows through — used to shut off, regulate, or redirect flow.
A mechanical device that controls the flow of liquid or gas in a piping system by opening, closing, or partially obstructing a passageway. Common plumbing valve types include ball valves, gate valves, globe valves, check valves, and pressure reducing valves, each suited to specific applications. Proper valve placement allows isolation of individual fixtures and sections for repair.
Ball valves were installed at every fixture supply line connection so individual fixtures could be isolated without shutting off the whole system.
