Homeowner needs a shut-off valve for an ice maker line but existing valve is soldered and stuck, requiring whole-house water shut-off for appliance service.
Existing soldered valve cannot be replaced without cutting copper pipe; no quick, non-invasive solution exists for adding a service shut-off on an existing ice maker line.
