Main shut-off valve frozen stuck, 4 ft underground. Dug out ready for replacement. Easiest way? Different valve type/location?
"You will have to make sure that the water supply is turned off at the source, or you will get very wet. You will have to cut out the pipe on both sides of the valve, or at least one side and unscrew it from the other side. I prefer to use gate valves, they are the most reliable. Then you can use a coupling and a fitting called a slip-fix to put the pipe back together."
Slip-fix (telescoping repair coupling) makes rejoining pipe easy in tight holes. Gate valves outlast ball valves in buried service.
