The small angle stops under sinks and toilets are your fixture-level shutoffs. Here is the New York guide.
The job
An angle stop lets you shut off one fixture without turning off the whole house.
The failure
Old multi-turn angle stops can seize, and the packing can leak when operated.
The upgrade
Quarter-turn angle stops are more reliable and worth installing during a repair.
The call
Keep the shutoffs working. Call 888-217-3585 and New York Plumbing Pros will match you with a New York pro.
