The Operation and Benefits of Automatic Shut–Off Valves
An automatic shut–off valve is connected to the water line, just like the manual valve. The difference between them is the automatic valve monitors the amount of pressure in the plumbing system. When there is a sudden change in pressure, as often happens with a large leak or pipe rupture, the valve will automatically shut down the flow of water in order to prevent further damage.
This may seem unnecessary, but you’d be surprised how often the normal manual valve fails to protect the home. There are two reasons why this happens. First, the location of the manual shutoff valve is not standardized. It might be located in your home and may be easy to get to. Then again, it might be located in a spot that is difficult to access, or that is not an obvious place to check.
Unless you know beforehand where it is, you may find yourself in deep trouble when a plumbing emergency happens. The other issue is that the manual valve only helps mitigate damage if someone is actually there to use it. If a plumbing issue happens in the middle of the night, or while you’re out of the house, there won’t be anything you can do to prevent a catastrophic amount of water damage. This is why it is a good idea to have an automatic shut–off valve installed in your home.
