Finding a Water Valve for a House Bib?
Posted: Sat May 04, 2019 10:46 am
I moved into a 1971 Superior Homes trailer just over a month ago. I have a house bib installed that had been turned off for the winter (I am in MN). I tried to find the valve to turn it on, but to no avail.
I pulled up skirting to check right where the spigot is first, but the piping goes up into the subfloor, so I can't trace it. I then checked where the main water supply to the trailer is, but that didn't help either. Lastly, I check all sinks in my trailer to see if it was connected in there.
I have also checked to see if the ceiling tiles are removable in case it was wrapped around up there some how (as old houses do on occasion), but to no avail.
Any tips for turning my water on/finding the valve? I really don't want to have to hire a plumber for this "simple" task, but it seems to be getting there.
Thank you!
