Main water gate valve

I broke the threaded shaft that turns inside the blade. Probably just put in a new threaded piece and good to go?

 

I had to shut off the water. I broke the 35+ year old shut-off at the dish washer. Then the 35+ year old main broke.

Threads by the packing might be striped too.

Slapped the packing nut back on. Now we can live comfortably till I fix it or the plumber comes.

The last time I had my buddy over to do some Plumbing work for me I asked him how much the bill would be he said "I don't know that's not my department."

 

I never got a bill for that one, but it did buy him a bottle of Crown which I handed it to him today. I asked him if there would be a bill for today, he said the same thing. So I'll probably end up buying another bottle of Crown.

 

Clarity Dammit.

What is that, some kind of crimp on fittings?

[XXitanium]

Yeah, apparently some jurisdictions/Proffessionals don't allow them.

Expensive tools to make them work, but they do work well.
