Note: If your water heater is old or you have never opened the valve before or have a plastic valve, there is a chance that it may not close all the way and you could end up with a drip or a leak. In that case, you can get a metal cap from a hardware store and put it on there. Or have a plumber put one on the next time you have one out or have them replace the valve (if nothing else is wrong with the water heater).
