I have a PEX system that does not have shut offs at the manifold. I have a utility sink in the garage that has shut offs at the supply lines but when it gets bitter cold outside they start to freeze, is it possible to install shut offs in the basement before the lines go into the garage, install valves mid line.
Also I have 2 frost free outside faucets, one of them the plumber tapped into the copper to feed the water for my refrigerator and my fridge water freezes in the morning and have to thaw pipe with hot towels. Again can I install shut offs here also.
Is it worth it to purchase the tools and do it myself or should I call plumber.
If I can do it myself what are all the tools I would need?
Thanks,
