Broken shut off valve from water heater.. ACE 29.1

[Tv Boy]

Need advice! My shut off valve from the water heater is broken and stuck in the off position. So I have cold running water only, but no leak!

The compartment on my ACE 29.1 is under the bed and I can barely see the broken valve, let alone get pex tools in the space to work. All the wiring is there too. Looks like I need to take apart the box under that part of the bed and removed the water tank to get access to make the repair.

local RV dealers are booked out till mid to late June! We are heading to the Smoky Mountains the 2nd week in June.

Anyone have these valves break before?...

Ill try to get a picture later

You might be able to bypass the shut off valve for your trip.

If you can get to it just to cut it you could use Gator or Sharkbites connectors from Home Depot or lowes. These just slide on and are approved for in wall use.


You probably need to stop flow from Cold to Hot (Valve off). If so, cut the Pex as close to the valve as possible. Install a male/sharkbite on each line and cap it for now. I'm not positive but I think would work.
