Hello, I'm new to the forum as you can see. I'm currently helping my father with some bathroom/kitchen remodel projects. So I'll probably be around quite a bit. The issue we've had is a leaky water main shutoff valve in the basement. My father lives in a double wide that was built in the early 80's. It is on a full basement.
The valve is located at the end of a 20 foot run of PVC that comes in from the outside. The galvanized valve then is connected via a galvanized elbow to gray PBT. I want to put in a new valve at the beginning of the PVC run where the PVC enters the basement in case we ever have problems with the PVC leaking. First off, what type of PVC valve do I need for this high pressure line and which type of valve will be the most troublefree?
The main problem is I want to completely remove the old galvanized valve (because it is leaking and corroded), but how do I then connect PVC to PBT so it is leak free? Thanks for your time.
