Master water shut-off valve (Navigli)

Hello,

 

I have a question concerning the location of the mater water shut-off valve in the Navigli (x05) unit in Phase 1. 

 

There is a set of blue valves under the bathroom sink that I thought were the master water supply shut off to the entire unit, however when I shut these off they just appear to control the bathroom water supply (sink, toilet, shower).

 

Is there antother set of valves (aside from the individual shut-offs at each point) that would cut off the entire water supply to my unit in the event that I had to do so?

 

Thank you.

Re:Master water shut-off valve (Navigli)
Although I can't speak for your unit in particular, in my unit (x01 in Phase 1), there are two sets of shutoff valves - one set under the bathroom counter which controls the bathroom fixtures and the laundry machine, and the other set under the kitchen sink which controls the kitchen including dishwasher. Many of the units are similar, having more than one master shut-off valve for different parts of the unit. This is because different parts of the unit is often fed from different main water risers. By the way, I think it's very smart that you're checking on the location of these, so that you know what to do in the case of an emergency.
