Shower screwdriver shut off valve

[Needhelp1212]

We noticed a water stain on out ceiling. After taking it apart we realized the hot screwdriver shut off valve is leaking. From research it looks like we can remove this valve by loosening the nut and then unscrewing it. There should be a washer we can replace that will fix the issue. However before we attempt this I want to make sure we are right. Can anyone advise?

most likely your plan should work, if you can find appropriate parts.

I think you can buy service parts and rebuild the stops I never have but it might be far easier and should take care of it or even tighten a packing but contact manufaceure for specifc info to your brand

If the leaking is while the valve is open, the problem would be the packing. I like white PTFE packing cord. Others prefer black graphite. Both are good.

Make sure you have a packing nut as in the pictures in https://www.terrylove.com/forums/index.php?threads/looking-for-vintage-packing-nut.98110
