I don't know if this is the equivalent to electrical outlets with the ground plug on the top or the bottom but I wanted to ask:
Should you always replace the ferrule when replacing a cut off valve?
I'm pretty sure that if it shows signs of wear or damage it should be replaced, but if it's in good shape, is it ok to reuse, would a good plumber reuse it?
This also might be the same type of question, I've read not to put anything on the threads of a compression valve, and some that say you should, thoughts?
Also, two more questions, what about teflon tape or equivalent on the two ends of the supply line, let's say on a toilet, yes or no?
Sorry about the rookie questions.
