[@ThatFixItGuy]

Thank you Shawn. They are great if your doing multiple angle stops.

[@waterheaterservices]

Home Depot sells those wrenches. Good only for angle, not straight valves.

[@jgoog7442]

I would not tighten the top this way because then tightening the bottom afterwards puts extra twists and stress on the hose. Bottom first and then top. It looks nice if the flexible hose goes vertical from the valve but depending on the length of the hose and distance it may be better to angle the small end at the valve towards the large end at the tank to avoid some of the bends. Nice tip about the white rubber. The only compression ring removal tool available at my store was horrendous to use. It also doubled as a removal tool for the handles on the sink faucet but it is just not worth it. This tool is perfect. The shut off valves I purchased have a spot for two wrenches so no need to use the top connector to hold while tightening and the extra distance allows the compression ring to go further down the pipe so not so much copper is exposed.

[@catmandont100]

Losen the nut just behind the handle. The handle will turn more freely. I suggest rebuilding the valve with RTV or any small rubber washer. Upon completion, re-tighten nut behind handle. I've rebuilt a valve in 1974-75 and recently needed rebuilding again. 50 years of service, by using a rubber gasket/washer made from a bike inner tube.

[@ThatFixItGuy]

If the are all brass shut off valves then I would happily try this. I love something that you can get 50 years of service out of. Thank you for your comments.

Why not use a right angle fitting to get the knob into a position away from the pipe?

[@maxxuman9915]

This is great if you have a compression fit type toilet supply/shut off valve, which fits onto a straight pipe. Mine was an FIP valve, which fits onto a threaded pipe. Far simpler to get off and on fortunately.

[@abe677]

Great video. This year I've replaced two of these. I was able to get away with not replacing the compression rings, but I just ordered the tool you linked to. On toilet #1, the rubber washer inside the old valve came apart and parts of it ended up in the toilet tank flush valve, which would then not shut off. On toilet #2 the same valve rubber washer failed and parts got hung up in a valve I added for one of those cheap bidets. Toilet fill time became extremely long. I have 8 more of the old valves in my house installed at the same time, so I assume the rubber washers will fail in those soon. I'll be better prepared the next time.

Flex supply line should have top and bottom metal nuts, plastic can and will eventually split under pressure, seen it many times.

[@KH-3414]

Mine burst this weekend at 3 in the morning. Use metal

[@crosslink1493]

I always see plumbers using compression fit valves on the supply lines - any reason you pros don't solder on a copper screw-on coupling (usually a male) then use a threaded valve with pipe dope or teflon tape? I've changed all the shut-off valves in my house to the threaded ones and it makes it easier to change them out when the local hard water scale causes them to stick open (no matter how often you 'exercise' them).

[@ThatFixItGuy]

It is very true. I think the compression valves get put on because it is easier.

[@longhair-dontcare9983]

Thank you for this informative video. I know you know your stuff, but no thread tape on the compression fitting threads? Also once the ferrell is squeezed on with the compression fitting, isn't the 1/2" copper pipe distorted slightly so that pulling it off with that tool going to change the dimension of that copper pipe?

[@kapa0224]

Hi. What should I do to unscrew the valve if it is frozen shot? Really need help to get this replaced. Thanks for this video! Marie

[@brunobrauer6301]

One should close and reopen the valve once a month or at least a year, so that it still works if you need it.

[@ThatFixItGuy]

I really do like this idea. Thank you for your comments.

[@bryanwong1625]

I saw that tool but my compression ring that the old owner installed is too far in the pipe. The nut wouldnt screw it

[@JerGoes]

Never been keen on attaching a flexi to a compression fitting, they are similar but the flexi relies on a rubber washer to make the seal and needs a flat surface where a compression fitting is sharp and cuts into the aforementioned washer 'usually' not a problem but not ideal.

[@jgoog7442]

When the compression ring is removed along with the compression nut what is left is not that sharp in the products I've seen.

[@KH-3414]

Nice video. What would cause the nut (the one that clicked) at the toilet to break and cause some water damage?

[@jewdd1989]

I have a question, I think the video answers it but just incase pls let me know. So my question is I had my upstairs bathroom renovated which included a new toilet and plumbing was replaced which includes the old water line to the toilet but it’s loose in the wall. I found out because I was vacuuming, barely nudged the plate and it moved so I investigated and I can carefully and easily pull out this plate off the wall and see the waterline from the inside. Is that normal or should it be somehow affixed in a more secure way? Another toilet downstairs is much more secure (I’m wondering because this video shows a copper waterline that mine downstairs is too hence why it’d seem more secure) so I don’t get it and want advice because maybe that’s normal but I’ve never experienced a loose toilet water line as in I can easily see the pex tubing inside the wall and if I needed to shut off the valve I’d have to be careful when doing so not to mess something up

[@z1522]

At 1:20, where did the water drain to? Usually flushing the tank leaves a sponge full there, then the old line holds more that needs to be caught with a small bucket or bowl as its lower nut is loosened.

[@kellismith4329]

Instead of doing that on mine, I just fitted a 1/4 turn valve with female thread the size of the compression valve outlet

[@debbiedebbie9473]

If you're not going to use a bathroom for a long time, are we supposed to put something down the drain to protect the pipes from rusting ? If a bathroom hasn't been used for over a year or two, is there something we're supposed to do before using it again ?

[@wanshanz6754]

[@thomassemich4627]

I have the same compression ring puller, although I have yet to use it yet. Does it leave a ring type groove, or score the pipe when removing? Does a new ferrule always seal without too much tightening?

[@ThatFixItGuy]

This puller is awesome. A ring type groove depends on the person that installed the last angle stop. It really seems to vary at times with the tightness. Once I feel it getting tight the I go another full turn of the nut or a little more and that is usually good for me. I think it will vary for everyone depending on your position and strength.

[@wallacetom1]

Will the ferrule removal tool work on CPVC pipe?

[@ThatFixItGuy]

I would not do it. Gently saw the brass ring till almost through then pry apart with a screwdriver. Or keep the same nut and ferrule just change the valve. You may have to cut a little pipe off the tip if it’s too long, but that works too. My favorite if there is enough pipe it cut off behind the ferrule and glue on a male adapter then you just have to add a female threaded angle stop. This video will give you the part for reinstalling after you cut. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqO4fomDnb-XnpY

[@johnhayden6102]

Why didn't you just use a shark fitting for the replacement valve?

[@ThatFixItGuy]

Not really a fan of sharkbite for this. Compression is easy to do and rarely has an issue. Also the ferrule on the compression fitting indents the copper and may not allow the sharkbite to have a good seal.

[@alimuh007]

[@hinojosa552]

Where can I buy that tool? To pull out the fitti ng out

[@ThatFixItGuy]

englishtoolco.com/

[@robertthomas5906]

Pro tip - you shouldn't turn it on all the way. Turn them on slightly so they'll fill over a minute to two minutes or so. Then if someone flushes a toilet when someone is taking a shower it won't take all the cold water away. Minute is plenty fast for most applications. No need for an expensive manifold or other crazy ideas. Simple, effective, cheap, slow fill.

[@SuperJMessi]

This should only be done with 1/4 turn style shutoffs. If you do it with a rubber gasket style you will erode away the gasket.

[@FixitRestoreit]

If pipework is installed correctly, you shouldn't have to

[@alimuh007]

Amen brother

[@SteelRhinoXpress]

You couldn't do what you did to remove it with cpvc pipe though. Especially old cpvc, its brital and would have cracked the pipe or broke the elbow inside the wall clean off. Best solution is to replace the gasket in the shutoff valve with cpvc piping then to try to remove the entire valve itself.

[@Azaduur]

The few times I came across a compression stop on cpvc, I did whatever was necessary to remove it and replace it with a threaded adaptor and stop. Afterwards I tell the owner that cpvc is a flooded house just waiting to happen.

[@typicalguardian2214]

[@AlecGrinage]

I can look for one for ya. You just need to unsweat the old valve and solder on a male adapter. The you can screw on a valve. If you have enough pipe behind you can just cut the valve off and put a compression one on.
