![]() For a shower this would usually be the floor below and sometimes (not often) under the sink. Also the bathroom or shower could have its own shutoff valve. All adults living at a house should be OK with turning on/off the water and power to house. ![]() You should not be scared to do this and this is good practice as you might need to turn it off in an emergency situation. But once you start touching other things turn off the water and turn on the faucet at the lowest point in your house (this will help drain the lines so you don't get a half gallon of kickback in your walls).Īs a side note: Turning off the water for your house should be a simple process of turning a valve. Both GP30002 and GP30004 faucet stems have identical physical specifications with the only difference being that they turn in the opposite direction. So if you are sure you are just putting on the handle you do not need to turn off the water. And sometimes 5-6 is really part of the main regulator and as soon as you start moving them water starts coming out of 8. The reason why I not this is sometimes 5-6 is stripped and the handle is fine. This example shows a more gears/bushing connection, some manufacturers use a specific shape (square/rectangle/hex) to connect the handle. But just by the nature of doing this you are probably going to move the stem and get sprayed with water off and on, or just on if I am doing it.Īs every manufacturer is a little different there are various reasons why handles get loose. If you are really just replacing the handle - which is really items 1-4 (and sometimes 5-6 or sometimes 5-6 don't exist) - then no you do not need to turn off the water.
