Closing the main valve (Shut-off/Turn-off) A.) Round âwheelâ handle valves will turn-off by turning the handle to the right (clockwise). It may take 2 or more full revolutions. B.) Slowly turn level handle valves Â¼ turn, until the handle it not parallel with the pipe.
When you turn the handle to shut off the faucet, the stem is screwed down, compressing the washer against the valve seat in the faucet body. The stem is secured by a packing nut, which compresses the packing (twine, a washer, or an O-ring) and prevents water from leaking around the stem. If that fails, replace the packing. 2  If the faucet leaks from the spout, either a washer is defective or a valve seat is badly corroded. 3  To find out which side needs work, turn off the shutoff valves one at a time; the leak will stop when one or the other is turned off.
