Check it works. It is of no use what so ever in an emergency if you cannot isolate your water supply. With the competitiveness of building it seems like the old standbys of floor wastes and isolation valves are usually not installed so your home will flood if you cannot locate some way to turn off the pressurized water from the Council feeds. Do your "homework", be prepared.
