Lowes canceled the installation because they did not know how to pull it up like you did. I was going to call a plumber before I found your channel; now, I will install my dishwasher myself. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Im having this exact problem now and i just discovered that its my valve and seals…thank you for your clean informative video. I have to fix mine today after work
Before you go to the last resort of replacing the valve you can try tightening the packing nut first. Quite honestly this might have solved this persons problem.
Thanks for the post. I replaced my kitchen faucet and reused the copper feeder lines which are failing at the connections. Replacing them with good old braided steel line. Keep the garbage vinyl and pex. However before i can replace the cold side feeder line i need to put in a new shut off bc it also feeds the water to the ice maker which is connected to the copper via a saddle valve. You CANNOT put a saddle valve on braided or vinyl. Thats why i need a compression shut off with a 3/8 faucet line and a 1/4 ice maker line in one shut off. Make sense?🤣😂😂. Anyway i just needed to see what to do for the compression shut off. Thanks
Question - what size copper pipe is that? I have been changing my valves and I am getting the same exact size valves you have and they are all fitting loose. I got sharkbites and those do work but why they be lose? Same size valve as the one I removed and the ones removed definitely were not loose. I cannot figure it out.
That is 1/2 inch copper pipe. The shark bites are made to spin around the pipe but made to resist pulling off - they do not slide off easily. When you turn the water on, go slow and look for leaks. Leaks mean -do it over. Thx for watching!
Copper lasts a very long time. They are also simple to repair. The only time we’ve replaced all copper pipes was when we purchased a house from a bank that didn’t winterize it. So the water in the pipes froze & split the pipes in multiple locations. We were chasing endless leaks inside walls. It might be worth replacing a small section under sink if you had a leak but throughout a house ? I’d keep them. Just my 2 cents. Thx for watching!
what happens if the pipe is broken? Mine broke just minutes ago and it doesn’t stick out like in the video. Do you have any tips on what I can do or do I have to replace the pipe by calling a plumber?
You can diy a pipe replacement… depends on how handy you are. TH-cam videos are very helpful. But If that is not in your wheel house - then handyman or plumber. Thx for watching!
I turned off the water supply to the house and the hot water is still leaking. Do I have to drain my water heater to replace the hot water shut off valve under the sink?
If you have sinks or pipes above the valve - then that might still be draining due to gravity, If your water heater is upstairs , I still don’t think it would siphon. Maybe let the valve drain into a bucket or pan, see if it eventually stops after the pipes empty… Hopefully that is what’s going on.

Good to hear! Way to go!
Instead of cutting the ferrule or copper pipe , use a Ferrule Puller to remove the compression ring .
Nice tip - thx!
Why not remove the ferrule from the upper tube like you did with the lower tube ?

Glad it helped

*"OLDER houses"* 😂😂😂
I'm laughing in my 200 year old house. I wish I was joking. The stuff in my house doesn't exist anymore 😂
Hey Trad…,
Wow! 200 yrs - that’s awesome. I feel your pain too!😃
@@Housebarons it's STILL leaking and I've tried 80 things 😂
They have tools for compression rings removal

Why not just use pex and braided 3/8?
Doesn’t it have a rubber washer inside u could have replaced ?
Hmmm. Good point! Maybe next time.
Get something called an olive puller - it uses the retaining nut to pull that brass ferule off
I dislike those crap shutoff supply valves and have replaced all of mine with 1/4 turn quality valvles.
I’m about to do mine. Any pointers?
agreed... was suppressed to see the one he installed was also a 1/4 turn but with the old goofy style 'knob'
When should copper pipes be completely replaced?
Copper lasts a very long time. They are also simple to repair.
The only time we’ve replaced all copper pipes was when we purchased a house from a bank that didn’t winterize it. So the water in the pipes froze & split the pipes in multiple locations. We were chasing endless leaks inside walls.

Thanks! I have a one story house. I’ll try draining the water into buckets.
Nobodies gonna bring up that he left that old compression nut on the pipe below the new valve?
:)
I think it looks better plus it sounds like he’s the homeowner so if he doesn’t care it doesn’t matter
That urks me too!!!😂😂🤣
Just saw a video where they have a tool to take that thing off.
Just change the stem and cap repair kit.
quarter turn angle stops work better.
why take out just put a new gasket
Use a compression sleeve puller. Alot easier lol...
Thx for the tip!!
@@Housebarons you're welcome!!!! Lol....
Could have just put a new bib in it for 5.00
Compression shut offs are the best shuts offs , i don't Really Trust Shark Bites
I get ya. But s o f a r we have never had an issue.
Thx for watching!
so much bad info and procedure is almost comical.
Did I just watch ths
You need to go back to knitting. You have no business doing any plumbing projects.
Please don't do this
Already did
