YEs, I think so. Where the old compression ring was, the pipe is indented about a 1/4" around. so it's thinner there.Are you using a quality product with precise threads? On some poorly made products, the chrome flakes off the threads preventing it from being tightened as much as it should.
I think the ring cutter is a better tool and would not have distorted the pipe as the puller did.We think the tool that pulled of the compression ring, made the pipe thinner at the point the new valve nut and ring attach.
A traditional pipe cutter would not run true on that distortion so you'd probably have to use a Dremel rotary tool with a skinny disk. An oscillating tool would work also.Any suggestions on what to use to cut pipe?
I wouldn't have guessed that you could cut it that far back. I figured some of the deformity would remain.Cut just past the deformity...
This is awkward, but...
