I was trying to replace a leaking old continuous turn stop valve for a toilet with a BrassCraft push connect 1/4 turn valve. Thought it would be a quick job as I was able to cut off the leaking valve and expected to push fit the new valve on. Trouble is the OD of the pipe seems to be just a little larger than nominal 1/2'' and the new valve will not slip over the pipe. The pipe appears to be chrome over copper, but I expected it would still be nominal 1/2" dimensions. Any suggestions here? Am I just imagining that the pipe is larger? I did not "egg" the pipe when I cut off the old valve.
