Toilet Water Valve

is that supposed to be a shut off valve on the end?

what about under the sink?

you might not have a choice other than the main shutoff

If u can be quick and wanna take a bath just jerk the old on off and stick the other on on open so u dont fight pressure. Be sure and liquid teflone tape the threads on the nipple and hope it holds. Get it good and tight and turn the valve off. Hook uo your shit. I've done it on a 3rd floor apartment for about the same reasons. Just grab every old towl and blanket you have and throw a plastic sheet down so u dont flood the nighbors. Have fun.

Use a pair of quality vice grips on that nub?
I guess you could file it down to a square shape. Had a outside spigot that stripped. My dad filed it until it fit a handle with a square hole.

If those are too big, gas cylinders have a smaller hole.

The shut off valve appears to be stripped, likely by the previous tenant(s.) Part of the reason why landlords don't want tenants fucking with the plumbing, like what you want to do. Quite frankly, while it is always a good idea to have the shutoff vale working in case of an emergency, it's appears they don't find it a priority to purchase and have a plumber install one just because you're a lazy fuck who doesn't clean after their cat. Clearly, from the look of the floor, you're a filthy cunt.

Yes this is totally a good idea in a property you don't own. I've done this before several times, although not at full psi, usually when a valve doesn't close all the way and it's still a motherfucker. Unless you live in some 3rd world shithole where the water pressure is only 40psi don't do this.


OP, fuck up the float in your toilet so it's constantly running and needs to be replaced. When they call a plumber any sensible should install a new valve.

freeze the pipe. you can buy a spray at plumbing suppliers that you spray the pipe with and it freezes the water inside making a plug. iv done it a bunch of times. around here the brand is arctic spray.

just freeze the coppy pipe, have a replacement valve ready and just switch it quick.

Here's another thing I've never seen: mine doesn't seem to have a typical float. I'm guessing it's the black thing here in this photo. I have the feeling this whole setup is older than I think. >>1134553
That sounds like my next option, it won't damage the pipes?
Right now I got the JB weld and a knob for this and hope I can get it to turn..

Get a knob, get some quick steel, shove quick steel into knob, jam it on the valve. Or quit being a vagina and manage to turn it off with pliers.

That's a pretty standard modern type of flush valve. Old skool is the rod and floater.
