Often when I'm installing a new toilet, I also need to replace a leaking shutoff valve. If the shutoff is a corrugated shutoff, it gets replaced for saftey reasons.
This is a corrugated supply line and shutoff. It's a one time use set up. Try to reuse it and you chance having the soft copper cracking and leaking. Trust me, you don't want water leaking onto your floor.
The compression shutoff gets unthreaded from the backing nut.
This is a nice tool for pulling the sleeve. It's a sleeve puller and can be found in any hardware store now. Thanks guys for reading my website and now stocking these tools.
The copper with the backing nut and sleeve pullled off.
Again..........I would use a sleeve puller, pull the back nut off, replace the esctucheon and install a new compression shutoff. We're talking a $25.00 tool and no damage to the wall.
I like 1/4 turn valves.
