Where My Valves?????


I am trying to install a under counter water filter. This home is ranch, 1957. There are no water shut off valves to be seen under any sinks. WHERE ARE THE VALVES???? what is the proper way to install the filter in this case. They are copper pipes

The long and the short of it is that you don't have any.

This is the perfect time to update the plumbing and add them since you are tearing into it already. Just turn off the main water valve, disconnect however the sink feed lines are connected to the copper under the sink and add the shut offs.
