Before I replace the entire valve, I am wondering if this old valve can be rebuilt?

It is the main water shut off for a home. It was installed around the mid ‘70‘s.

It has been stuck in the open position for years now. I have another shut off valve I have been using but would like to get this one rebuilt or replaced.

The only identifier I see is the ' T ' stamped onto it.

Thanks

the T stands for tanner. quite good valves in their day.
yes, you can rebuild that valve. a new bibb washer and screw along with some teflon packing and it will be almost as good as new.

You're going to have to have the water off and drained anyway, so I'd just replace it with a new 1/4 turn ball valve .

no need to turn water off to repack - simply shut valve

if valve does not 'hold/stop/shut' actual water flow then either rebuild or replace

That generally works unless someone puts the valve on backwards..

yeah, the pressure always comes from under the seat..

Thanks everyone.

It's good to know there might be a chance to do a rebuild.

Replacement is always an option but I might try to repair it first.

There is a working shutoff between this valve and the street, so it'll be easy to turn off the water flow.
