Toilet shut-off valve leaking. Am posting a photo.
PEX push-on shut-off valves are another type of plastic shut-off valve. Some benefits of PEX push-on shut-off valves are that they are affordable and can be used on a wide variety of pipes including copper piping and different types of plastic piping.
The type of handle attached to your shut-off valve will give you the best idea of what kind of valve you have. A knob handle, as you’d find on your outdoor water hose faucet, likely means you have a gate valve. If you have a lever or straight handle, you have a ball valve.
I wasn't able to shut off the valve at the street, so was scared to adjust the nut. Opening and closing doesn't help the leak. I got an estimate of $300 to replace ball valve
