Final answer:

Inspectors are not required to operate all plumbing and fuel shut-off valves.

Step-by-step explanation:

False. Inspectors are not required to operate all plumbing and fuel shut-off valves. Inspectors are responsible for ensuring that plumbing and fuel systems meet the necessary codes and regulations, but they generally do not physically operate these valves during inspections. Instead, they may visually inspect the valves to check for any visible issues or defects.

Shutoff valves are designed to control the flow of gas and other substances with either full on and full off functionality or at a specific flow rate. We offer a range of shutoff valve types, styles, and material construction for a variety of applications.

Fixture shut off valves are also called stop valves and they control water flow to individual plumbing fixtures, such as faucets and toilets. An advantage of these valves is that you can work on a faucet or toilet without having to shut off the water to the entire house.
