I have a little issue with a leaking valve on the cold water input pipe into my water heater. The mail stop valve is fine and I cleaned it up a bit, but about 4" above it there is a small valve with a small copper tube running into it and it is leaking. I have no idea what this valve is for or where the small copper pipe runs once it goes behind the wall.
I have the valve turned off for now, but I'm curious if anyone has seen anything like this before and might have an idea as to why someone might set up a water heater in this fashion.
Thanks
