Hello,
I removed a compression shut off valve for a sink faucet. The pipe was jagged like it was cut with a hacksaw instead of a pipe cutter.
I will need to cut off the jagged portion or does it not matter?
Seems that in this case it's possible it might make a watertight connection, but perhaps not?
I would prefer to keep the shut of valve body if possible as there is copper line soldered to the valve that feeds the faucet.
From searching posts on here it looks like I will need more than just a new olive/ferrule. I will also need a new compression nut and should not reuse the old one? Do I understand that correctly?
Or should I abandon the idea of reusing the valve and get a new one and redo the faucet connection?
Thanks
