A month later my valve was replaced and I had one that I could turn on and off with ease. It was just really strange that the valve broke at such a convenient time.
That same house had lead pipes for the drains to the sewer. Even the toilet was mounted to a lead pipe. Try finding fitting to connect to a lead pipe.
