"There's a thread on here where I showed a guy how easy it would be to just turn off the water, cut the pipe, and install the new cutoff, including a video showing it done. It's just a compression fitting, so no soldering necessary. He had no idea it would be so simple."
wjcandee, Do you happen to know where that thread is where you show how to install a new cutoff?
I put a new 1/4 turn angle valve on, but kept the old compression nut on. I wanted to replace the flange
b/c the old one is painted on and looks like crap, but water was pouring out (even though main was off) and I wouldn't have been able to get if off anyway with the compression nut still on.
So, I was interested in seeing your post and video regarding replacement. Also, do you have any tips on stopping water from coming out of the copper inlet pipe?
I am assuming b/c it's the lowest plumbing line, all the water drains out there even after releasing pressure elsewhere in the house. Thank you.
I have another old angle stop that I want to change to a new 1/4 turn one. Here is a picture of that:
This one doesn't have as much copper pipe sticking out of the wall, so I'm not sure I will have enough to cut off.
All advice appreciated.
