We had to solder on stops in my early days until the compression ones came out now that's all I use. The one you took off Frisco tx had so much city pressure it would shut them off back when these came out lol
I had a plumber quote me $750 to replace two of these plastic valves. I did one with a Shark Bite and removed it with the pipe cutter as shown. New valve was about $15 and it took ten minutes to cut the old one off. Great demo!
I been plumbing for 8 years now doing service in high rise condos in Toronto. Tried this trick out over the weekend, worked perfectly. Didn’t have to cut drywall either. Thank you sir. You are a stud.
Thank you so much for a Really easy to follow video. I moved in to this 15 year old patio home and needed to change the water tank pump. I had never seen this type of push pull valve before. It looks Cheap. I am considering changing the two bathroom valves to the ones you mentioned here. I think even I... could do this. Thanks again.
Awesome demonstration Brian and thanks for the tip of using a mirror to inspect the solder on the rear of the connection. Great job with the outro Logan !
@@ThatFixItGuy Agree, i don’t see many do this (my dad taught us years ago as a kid). always nice to get a cheap mirror with telescopic handle i just happened to find one that had a small light which was neat (flea market booth) 5$. glad ya take pride in work.
Great video Brian. Thank's for doing it. I just ordered one of the Rigid pipe cutters. Getting ready to replace my Accor/flowtite valves. They are 10 years old.
The jokers that did mine originally had it very flush against the wall, so no room to slide it back after cutting it off with the pipe cutter tool! I had to dig the pieces out! It would have gone a lot more smoothly if I would have been able to slide it back like you did. Still very helpful, though. Beats digging around under there with a hacksaw!
My flowtite valve for my toilet won’t stay open it will only allow water in when I push down on it. Only 4 year old house so def gonna replace it today. Thanks for posting this saved me a ton of money
Good video, thanks. Do I have to turn the home's main water valve off and drain water before replacing these things? How should I do that, turn off the main and drain water from an outside spigot?
Yes you want to turn the house water off for sure. These are going to be one of your lowest point of water so if you have anything lower like an out side spigot or fixtures in your basement then drain there. And you will probably still get a little water from here.
Dude I was I was closer to him we would do all kinds of stuff. I’m trying to talk him into going to the national hardware show or something. I think it would be a blast.
Still hit or miss with sharkbite. I have used them in a pinch. Go to is still compression. But got to remember don't over tighten them otherwise they will score into the copper. I am barely starting to embrace upinor over copper. And since copper cost 3 times what it did when I bought my current house guess what? I will be doing my remodel in pex A.
Yeah I know. Copper is still king, but the price these days is crazy. Over tightening is a thing ran into a lot on compression fittings. Thank you for your comments as usual.
They say you can twist them off. I’ve had mixed results doing that, so I started cutting them off. Then I found you can use a cutter like this. It will be a great headache saver.
Because of the damage it could cause. Ask any plumber and they will tell you if you care about your stuff get em gone. I’ve been to quite a few floods from these over the years.
I don't trust push-on connectors. Once I'm going throught the hassle of ripping those lousy plastic valves off, I'm not going to roll the dice on having to fix another leak in a year.
I did the compression fix everything went well but had to call a plumber because compression fitting was leaking turns out I did not tighten it enough $255 lesson
Thank you for another great video. You gave 3 different repairs. The compression fix looks right up my alley.
The compression repair is a solid choice for a repair. I use these all the time. Thank you for watching.

Thank you for a great video, it addresses my exact issue. You saved me about $300.00. Thanks again.

Which one of the 3 did you try?
Took me forever to get through with cutting wrench. Man you made it look easy!!

Your welcome Richard. I told Logan You said good job as well. Always nice to inspect the connection. Hope you have a great weekend.

Great video with some great tips brother. Hope you have a awesome Father’s Day weekend
Happy Fathers to you as well Steve. So far so good.
Why only 192 LIKES when this is one of the best valve removal/ replacement videos I've seen in years?
Saved me a lot of money , thank you for your time!
Great video Brian. Thank's for doing it.
I just ordered one of the Rigid pipe cutters.
Getting ready to replace my Accor/flowtite valves. They are 10 years old.
The threaded fitting is the Best (for future repairs!!!)

So true. Once I found this I’m never going back to my old way.
Thank you for an other great informative video. I love watching your videos and I am learning lots of good ways fixing plumbing around the house
Your very welcome. So glad you are enjoying the channel. Thanks for watching.
I just did this, great instructions. I wish I would have listened about the gloves, that little half moon on the ring will make you bleed. Thank you!
So true. The blood will come. So glad this helped. Please subscribe, share your experience and help us grow.
Hey Brian thanks for the great information, I am personally a fan of the compression fitting. Hope you and the family have a great weekend 👍🇺🇸
Thank you Britt! Happy Fsthers day! I really like compression as well. Very user friendly. Hope you are haven’t a great weekend.
Excellent video.
I think the one on the escutcheon plate keeps you from pushing the pipe into the wall if it is not secured well
My flowtite valve for my toilet won’t stay open it will only allow water in when I push down on it. Only 4 year old house so def gonna replace it today. Thanks for posting this saved me a ton of money

When are you going to visit "FARPOINT FARMS" again?
Seeing the two of you together makes me smile, and the Content is always awesome!

Great video! Also, pipe dope…
Great video. Is there a reason this cutting method wouldn’t work on a cpcv installation?
Thanks!!!
Would the flow-tight removal you demonstrated also work with plastic pipes?
Great video. Is there a reason this cutter wouldn’t work on cpvc instead of the handsaw in your other video?
How can you help the angle stop point where you want?
Still hit or miss with sharkbite. I have used them in a pinch. Go to is still compression. But got to remember don't over tighten them otherwise they will score into the copper.

Yeah I know. Copper is still king, but the price these days is crazy. Over tightening is a thing ran into a lot on compression fittings. Thank you for your comments as usual.
Hi, can you use the rigid ratcheting tool to remove the flowtite piece off of pvc pipe or can it only be used with copper pipe?
I have a new home and the copper pipe is connected to PEX tubing - would the heat from the solder damage the PEX?
Can that compression valve work for cpvc pipe?
they can and I have seen them. Not a big fan personally. I would just glue a male adapter on or use a sharkbite.
What’s the name of the copper fitting piece and size you soldered onto the copper coming out of the wall?
Where did you buy that heat shield?
I have no idea why they make those valves and what problem they solve.
Totally Agree Jack. Funny thing is I've had people try to make a case for how good they are.
I call them Fisher-price shutoffs. I hate them. All the issues with them aside, they just look like a child's toy.
I will use the compression... TY Installed a reverse omosis water system and at the end the stupid push pull valve is now leaking.
Your welcome. Yeha that is a bummer. You got this!
Isn’t there a removal tool like the shark bite? Think it’s time to purchase a new narrow pipe cutter! Got about 20 of these stupid valves to replace
They say you can twist them off. I’ve had mixed results doing that, so I started cutting them off. Then I found you can use a cutter like this. It will be a great headache saver.
Neat thank you
if the original valve isn't leaking why replace it???
Because of the damage it could cause. Ask any plumber and they will tell you if you care about your stuff get em gone. I’ve been to quite a few floods from these over the years.
¼ Turn Valves are the way to go, and forget!
Totally agree. Has made so much easier in tight spaces.
New sub
Twist off the old, grooves not a problem for compression with pipe dope.
95/5 solder is perfect for copper potable water pipes. Last time I bought it $30 a pound.
ALWAYS remove the stiffener insert from a SharkBite fitting when using it with copper tubing. ALWAYS!
I don't trust push-on connectors. Once I'm going throught the hassle of ripping those lousy plastic valves off, I'm not going to roll the dice on having to fix another leak in a year.

The flux is NOKORODE
wow i have never seen that garbage just cut it off with a small grinder lol
I did not that of that! You totally could. LOL. You might want to be in a hazmat suit with all the metal flying though!
Rubber age and unfortunately the orings in these will not last
Yeah I think your right. Thank you.
Your cleaning brushes will last at least twice as long if you turn it in only one direction instead of back and forth as you do.
Thank you Sir
