I've done quite a few compression angle stops by just heating the ferrule up with a torch and gently tapping an adjustable wrench fitted around the pipe behind the nut, this has worked for me every time. That's a pretty neat tool though and I can see where it would definitely come in handy if the stub-out was too short and tight to the wall or floor!

Always, Always change the compression nut. I've seen them split right down the middle (definitely over tightened). You're already changing the valve changing the nut is just cheap insurance. Great video Roger.

I ALWAYS change the compression nut and ferrule, I don't see the need to risk it. I absolutely love the ferrule blaster. If I can't fit the ferrule blaster I use the Pasco puller. If the Pasco puller can't fit, then I carefully use the tiny Tim hacksaw.

if there’s enough room to cut out the old compression and put a new one on all together i usually go that route, leaving enough room for the next guy to work on it 20yrs later is just the right thing to do. the only thing i noticed i do differently was when you sweat off the old soldered valve.. i always apply plenty of flux before and during the sweat, helping the older solder melt off faster then wiping it with a dry shop rag. it keeps you from needing to sand down the pipe as much before installing the new one :) love that ridgid valve tool btw, i use it daily as well!

Always just spun and pulled the ferel off with channel locks but no matter what use a little "plumbers friend" (sand cloth) to polish smooth the pipe before adding new stop. A touch of pipe dope goes a long way in this application to feel the right tension without over or under tightening. Good video thankyou

You should do a follow up video with real world applications, like underneath a super tight cabinet, or in between a toilet & wall with water constantly dripping out not allowing the solder to take.

My foreman talks about old compression stops that seat at a slightly different depth and the new ferrule sits in a slightly different spot. When the previous plumber really cranked that thing down it left the pipe smooshed, when the new ferrule goes on it doesn’t seal cuz it’s sitting in a different spot. Your thoughts? My favorite part of this video was how you stuck something (I’d use a screw driver) into the stop itself to turning it, while backing the compression nut. Why didn’t I think of that!

@eggmanfryer2 жыл бұрын
The first thing I do is cut off the old angle stop if there is enough excess pipe sticking out of the wall. Then I ream the end to be sure there is no sharp edge that can cause early failure of the pipe. Then I use sanding cloth or an outside wire brush to "Clean bright by mechanical means" the old pipe. If there is not enough pipe which there hardly ever is, I use a Duck Puller on compression stops. If the ferrule has been over tightened I use a Saf-T-Kut tool to break the ferrule. (Side note) I used a grinder to decrease the shaft size of the Saf-T-Kut tool everywhere the shaft protrudes from the orange body except the top of the shaft (where the cutter hits the shaft). This allows the shaft of the 'Saf-T-Kut tool' to go into the pipe far enough to allow the cutter to slice the ferrule when the last plumber has over tightened the ferrul and it won't allow the normal size shaft into the under size copper pipe. On the older stops that incorporate the white plastic "ball" and the "Push On Nut Locking Washer Clips" I attempt to push the threaded nut back against the wall and pull the 'Ball' far enough away from the Locking Washer to cut the locking washer with a pair of wire cutters. Then I pull off the threaded nut which also removes the ball. But in the case where the ball stays inside the threaded nut and it keeps moving the 'Locking Washer' closer to the wall I simply cut off the chrome escutcheon and use a pipe to hammer the whole nut into the sheet rock. Then I install a new escutcheon to cover the hole in the wall caused by the old nut (now inside the wall). Then I install the new escutcheon and new compression angle stop like nothing ever happened. On sweated stops I heat up the stop fast (with a Bernzomatic 8000 mapp gas torch) to melt the solder at the stop before the solder at the 90 inside the wall melts. If you heat up the stop super fast it will melt the solder before the pipe gets too hot. Then I swipe the hot pipe with a damp cloth to clean off the 'wet' solder. Next I grab the hot pipe with a WET cloth to cool the pipe off before it melts the solder in the 90 inside the wall. If there is water in the pipe that wont evaporate out quickly I will cut off the stop right where the stop hits the pipe (if there is room to do so) . Or I will drill out the inside of the stop so I can insert a "Jetsweat" to stop the water and then perform the above procedure.

Ive done some that are pex and they have a metal sleeve that goes inside the pipe but the ferrule on the plastic will not come off because the ferrule blaster will expand the plastic by shoving the metal sleeve into the pipe which forces me to cut the plastic back just to install another angle stop. If there isnt enough plastic then the wall has to be opened and a new stub out has to be cut it. I hate Pex in case you cant tell by my comment. 😂

Ridgid # 27023 sells at Home Depot. It unscrews into two pieces, one (the short end) can be inserted into the 3/8" service line connection to hold it in place while turning the other end of the wrench around the large end nut that is squeezing the compression nut. Another option is the Pasco # 4528 (or a variety of copies), which threads on to the 3/8" service line connection to hold it in place. More expensive than the Ridgid, and a tad slower to use (as you have to thread it on, vs the Ridgid you simply insert it into the fitting opening.
