Valve is not identified. Cold water shut-off valve, TP valve, check valve, mixing valve, drain valve are the usual suspects associated with electric water heater. Gas water heater has additional valves: gas shut off valve and gas control valve thermostat. Check valve, TP valve and mixing valve probably need replacement. If drain valve is leaking, put garden hose cap over end. Shut off valve probably has a bit of blockage, or is not completely open. Try closing and then opening shut-off valve all the way, and if problem persists, replace or clean out valve.
What kind of noise? Are you sure the noise is from a valve or is it inside the tank caused by sediment build-up inside of tank?
Your humidifier will have either a copper or plastic tubing attached to it. This tubing is the water tubing. If you follow that line to where it "taps" into a water line (near the water heater or a water line under your house), there should be a water shut-off valve. The water shut-off valve could be any type of valve but is normally a saddle valve. You could skip the step of shutting off this valve; however, it is good practice to shut the valve off for two reasons: 1. in the event of a water leak, you will be able to easily locate the valve to shut off the water. 2. if the valve is not "excercised" from time to time, the seals will dry rot and the valve will not be capable of doing it's job when the need arises.
Here is a video showing you how to trace your water line to your saddle valve. There is additional information on the video that you might find helpful as well.
Hi! Are you talking about the gas shut off valve or a water shut off valve(if you have a boiler)? Either way if you can't shut it off you need to get it replaced. Good luck!!
To clean it, shut off the discharge valve at the water heater. Then, you shut the valve off of the main water supply. After which, you can start cleaning the single knob shower cartridge. After the cleaning job, you can open the discharge valve of the water heater, then, the valve of the main water supply.
I assume you have found an answer by now, but for the record, they are referring to an *Appliance* gas shutoff valve, not the major one for the home. Each gas appliance should have an easily accessible shut of valve (for a cooktop, it would typically be in the cabinet below). Older homes with basements may have it located there - the idea is to be able to shut the gas off to that individual appliance.
