I’m planning to remove Accor FlowTite valves under all sinks & toilets in my home(25 total). I plan to cut these valves with a compact Rigid tubing cutter to reduce the risk of etching the PEX tubing when removing. I’m considering installing Keeney PlumbPak No-Crimp angle valves. I understand that installation of expansion rings would be ideal however being a novice DIY and not owning an expansion tool, the Keeney valves only require the use of wrenches. I’m also somewhat wary of success of Sharkbite valves. Although these FlowTite valves are butted up next to the escutcheons I believe there would be adequate room for installing new valves.
