Is there a unitary shut-off valve for the MANABLOC?
In most of these installations, the manifold (or manabloc) as they are often called, was installed in each individual unit, and there was no overall unitary shut-off valve; you simply shut off individual fixtures at the manabloc if you needed to work on that fixture.
What happens when you leave a MANABLOC panel alone?
Similar to an electric fuse box, a ManaBloc panel is often left alone until a repair is needed. This means the shutoff valves on the panel may go unused for years. The homeowner uses one of the shutoff valves to make a plumbing repair, and when the water is turned back on, the valve begins to drip.
