Had our house built 9 years ago, and this type of valve was used for all our toilets and sinks. I had never seen them before that. Whose bright idea was this anyway?
I have recently noticed a slow drip from this one and was going to replace it, but had no idea how to get it off the CPVC supply line. I went to the hardware store to look at what they have on the shelf, and nothing looks exactly like this. They have some which appear to be push-fit that say they're for different line types (copper, CPVC, PEX). Also found a compression fit valve. None have the crimp fit hose included (which seems like a bad design to me anyway). I've found several videos describing how to get the leaky valve off, but not real clear on the best choice for replacement.
Is one of those valves that I put the links to the correct kind to use as a replacement? Saw one video that said if you use the "unscrew and pull" method to remove, you'll have damaged CPVC that won't get a good seal with the replacement valve. Advice from a pro here would be much appreciated!
