Need Help ASAP regarding pipe coming from wall to shut off valve

[Jeff H Young]

Keep it simple if the ferule on the angle stop fits on the copper the correct size its good. If the ferule wont slide over you gotta cut the copper back farther where it is a true 5/8 " diameter sweat on a coupling

If the copper pipe doesn't protrude to the cut end of the sleeve, I bet that is lead solder and should easily heat and be able to wiggle the sleeve off. A quick test kit or even digging into it with your fingernail would confirm if its 50/50 solder.

My hypothesis on the situation was that the supply stop originally had like a 3" long slip coupling for the supply connection, prechromed, and you solder it near the wall to an ~2" copper pipe stub. Is that at all plausible, that a product like that exists or existed?

Very likely.. I think its likely easily removed and should leave a bit more pipe beyond where its soldered. I've Never actually seen one of these installed.

So as others said, I expect MAPP gas torch heating the end of the sleeve, pliers pulling, and I expect that sleeve will pull right off.

Thanks for finding that, I figured it must be something like that but didn't know they existed.
