Best Answer

Valve taps often occur as a result of a misalignment in the fitting they are in, or a worn out valve seat. In many cases, a new valve spring and cam adjustment will fix the problem, but if it the result of a worn out valve seat, it will have to be machined.

The "curb stop" is the valve that is on the service from the main into your house. i.e. The 8" main in the street has a saddle tap with your 3/4" service line on it. Within 8 ft of the connection between your service and the main is your curb stop. The curb stop is a valve buried underground. In order to open/close the valve a curb box is placed over the valve. It is essentially a metal tube that lets you open and close the curb stop.
