However I would be very surprised if the hose could not be unscrewed and replaced as that would defeat the propose of the valve. Regardless, each residential unit should have it's own shut off valve that isolates the unit's water system from the building's distribution system. If the unit is not isolatable, there is most likely a code issue and the resident should not have to pay for the isolation of the building itself. | |

This means the valve would need to be replaced thus the need to shut off water to the whole condo. The homeowner should check with an attorney about his legal rights to have the water shut off for maintenance without undue strain on his wazoo. | |

There should be no need to relace the valve itself. | |

The line to the faucet is before the shutoff, so there's no way for me to replace the hose and T valve without shutting the water off to my unit... which can only be done by killing everyone else's water. Great design right? Not...... | |
