hongss 3 Report post Posted July 30, 2007 hi,heard from my dad that its good to install a stop valve to every water pipes running in your house. In case when one of the pipes burst or one of your tap is leaking, you will not need to turn off the water supply for the whole house. What do u call those valve? do u guys install?
