Just did this yesterday for the first time. Wish I had found your video first just for the confidence building. At any rate, made it happen. Had a difficult time removing the old ferrule, but I used that same tool as you and it eventually came off. The old ferrule also left behind a deformed pipe. I was worried that wouldn’t seal properly, so I cut the pipe off with a mini tube cutter. I was lucky to have enough pipe exposed to do that. Thanks for making the video.
Question, I'm confused as to where did the water in your hot water tank go? You cut off the water to house but isn't there still water in a hot water tank that didn't drain out into that quart size container in basement? I need to replace hot water valve under bathroom sink.
This question makes me think you should hire a plumber 😅🤣 If you shut off the city water, your domestic water system is no longer pressurized. You only have to drain out the volume of water in the pipes that is roughly the same elevation, or higher, than the shutoff valve you are trying to replace. Usually this is less than a gallon and can be drained at the valve too, it just sometimes gets messy. Have a big enough bucket or pail ready!
It shouldn't, you can always switch to a SharkBite fitting if they make a compatible one. I would try and remove any stuck on residue to ensure a good seal.
I am in a panic and don't have $350 quoted. I don't see a knob on hot water tank going out to turn off, so do I have to turn off and drain out 50 gallons of hot water to replace hot water valve under under sink? Even if I shut off water to house the tank is still full of hot water to spew out right??

BRASS NOT COPPER FERRULE, other than that your tutorial was very good, also for those who do not have the puller have them reuse the old one(nut and ferrule), just replace the valve
That won't work if the thread pitch of the new valve's compression fitting differs from that of the old valve. The only option then is to remove the old ferrule and nut so the new nut and ferrule can be placed on the pipe stub.

Super helpful guy. You make it all look so easy and you're a confidence builder. Thanks for sharing with us.
Glad to help
Excellent presentation
Thank you! Cheers!
I think your milage will vary with the puller based on how seized up the ferrule is. My next stop is either the $40 specialty tool or a plumber.
Make sure you are using it right and your ferule puller isn't bottomed out!
Thank you you did great job explaning
You are welcome!

Does the ring deform the pipe? If the ring is removed can I switch to a press on fitting or is the pipe deformed?

Is it necessary to replace the compression nut and olive or can you use existing one
They are one time use. I woud replace.
Whst if you have a copper line say ggoing to the faucet. My faucet is almost impossible to get to.
Keep a brown paper towel under the new compression fitting or put the towel in the plastic bowl.
Great idea
You should have put teflon tape or pipe dope on the ferule ring and not the threads to prevent leaks. Preferably teflon tape.
I will try that next time and report back!

I need you to help me with my puller
Whats up with your puller?
