Hi there, I have a very easy question for someone with plumbing knowledge.
I have a home that was ding'd by the home inspector for having a broken handwheel on the cold water shutoff valve to the water heater. Its your basic gate valve, but the handwheel is cracked in half with the missing half long gone. I want to know can I just unbolt the handwheel and bolt on a replacement or does this necessitate replacing the entire valve assembly? Thanks for any quick responses, as I'm heading two hours out of town to do this 8 hours from now! It looks like this:
