Title: The valve is working as advertised; retrofit installation easy
Product review: It cost me $200 for a plumber to do a professional installation job. The existing water supply valves now serve as isolation valves. A special fitting was used to transition to copper pipes, 8 inches long, to this automatic shutoff valve. Screw the existing washer supply lines to the valve; drop the sensor into the washer's plastic pan, plug the washer into the valve and plug the valve into the wall. That's it. Now, when the washer is off, the valve shuts the water off. If the washer leaks while it is running, the sensor will shut the water off. The total cost of this installation is less than the deductible on my homeowners insurance policy.
