I want to replace the old angle valve for faucet as well as toilet since they are really old and leaking. I was able to remove the valves but not the "o" ring that holds the nut on the copper pipe. I tried the tools from local hardware store but failed. Then I thought of leaving the nut and "o" as it is and replace valve only. But found that the threads do not match with new one. The local hardware guy says they do not make them anymore. But I found that the threads are exactly same as the one on new washiing machine faucet which are currently available.( which means those threads are still being used ).
So what should I do to replace old valves ? They are not repairable. I am also wondering if I could cut that "o" ring without damaging the pipe ?
