There are multiple types of valves, and it can be useful to know what they do, where they are typically located, and why they need proper maintenance and repairs. Common water valves we see in the Springfield area are:
- Check valve: commonly used for backflow prevention and installed near the water meter or main line
- Pressure relief/release valve: typically found on water heaters as a safety mechanism
- Supply stop valve (supply inlet/outlet valve): These valves are commonly used for fixtures and appliances and are installed directly on the fixture's water line
- Faucet valve: Used to control water flow for showers, tubs, and sinks
- Hose bibs: Another name for an outdoor faucet or spigot that grants access to water outside
