This is an odd one. The only whole house shut off is on the city side of my meter and the person from public works I talked to said only the city could operate it and if it were to break while I operated it I could be held financially liable.

Does anyone know of a ballpark price to get a plumber to install on my side of the meter?

    I saw this in youtube when I was watching videos about propress, planning a whole house plumbing redo.

    I think it’s only available in the states, but you don’t even need to shut off the main to install the shut off valve.
    There’s also the c/plumbing at lemmy, they might be able your question.

      Yeh I think these are currently like $400-500 here in Canada. My boss just ordered one (or something similar), interested to see how they function.

      I had to install shutoffs in a unit this week and building management refused to shut the water off (for the floor).

      I used a Rigid Super Freeze and it worked really well. Installed all 5 shutoffs without a disaster.

      Full disclosure, I’m a carpenter/project manager, not a plumber by trade.

      Rented from United Rentals, which is North America-wide I believe.

        Pretty sure a random fitting company isn’t paying for marketing on Lemmy.

            Now we’re accusing people of being shills for posting relevant responses? Lemmy really is turning into Reddit

        We have had a fairly large surge in new users recently into the Fediverse, that’s not at all suspicious to me
