I called the Building Inspector this afternoon and he confirmed that, yes, cut-off valves are required to meet code in his jurisdiction. The question is now do wait for the plumbers to not install these and require them to come back or do I inform them upfront that these cut-off valves have to be installed? The answer is I will tell them in advance that the valves must be installed because I do not want these rip-off artists back on my property. Every other aspect of the project went WONDERFULLY except for the plumbing.
