In this video clip, I will show you step 2 in our process of installing a ball valve. The next thing we need to do is locate our main water shut off, and we need to go ahead and turn that knob. Remember righty tighty, lefty loosey. This is going to shut off the water to the entire house, and hopefully we won’t have to be doing this once we install our ball valve. We will just be able to shut off that ball valve. The next thing that we need to do is relieve any water pressure that is still in the lines, so you can go to any faucet in your house and turn that on and wait till all that pressure has been relieved from the faucet. What we don’t want to have happen is when we cut the pipe, we don’t want it to start spraying water everywhere, so that is why we do this.
