Do yourself a favor, do not try this. This vise grip to remove a ferrule is ridiculous. Search for ferrule splitter, puller or spanner. You will find many options that won't deform the pipe. This kind of video is dangerous for "do it yourself'ers".
Put 1/4 inch piece of coper inside the angle stop screw it back on the extra piece will pull the compression ring forward then it will be off . Once you remove angle stop back off .
On my sink I just gooped the old one up with pipe thread sealer and it worked. 3 years later no leaks. I'll try your technique tomorrow with the toilet valve. thanks
When I was doing my union plumbing apprenticeship, my journeyman/foreman would whoop my ass if he saw me doing this, and please if you're going to be doing this, get the correct tools.

I would never use vice grip, no matter how careful you are you can end up bending the copper pipe. Use proper tools to do the job. This too easy, because in real life spaces are usually pretty tight.
@@k.d.6059 Use two wrenches or adjustable pliers so you have a control in how tight you tighten that pipe. With a vice grip you can easily over tighten.
Why not reuse the existing ferrel. I always do and have had no problems. When you bend the pipe, you're gonna end up cutting and sweating on more pipe.
I just cut behind it and slapped a new compression ring and nut on.. Problem is its weeping.. I think my pipework is too old and doesn't have enough of a perfect surface anymore.. Even sanding and cleaning failed
Yes . That's why I had to replaced them. I'd cut the ring with a piece of hand saw or cutting saw. You need to take your time cutting the ring so this way you won't damage the tube. The person from HD told me if the nut and ring are in good shape there's no need to change it , so I did but it was still leaking , so I'd changed the whole thing. In my first experience replaced all parts was the best choice.
Nice video but sure others would smash the pipe out of round and cause even more problems, they have a tool for this, get it and save yourself a headache, also, you can return when done... lol
If you see the pipe bending then it’s too late. Anyone watching this should have immediately searched for another option when he couldn’t even identify the tool he was using
OMG! As soon as you clamped down on that ring, I saw the copper tubing go egg shaped. Vice Grips and copper tubing don't mix.
This helped me in getting out the compression ring. Didn’t understand it’s purpose till I saw this . Many Thanks for saving time and money!
Thanks Paul. Just replaced 7 supply valves/compression fittings in 2 bathrooms (renovations) today. Plumber said he couldn't get to me for a week!
Awesome.plumber saved you $ by not being available
Thank you so much. So many other people use specialty tools and with your advise I was able to get mine off quickly and without extra tools.
Tx, super helpful!!! Just saved me a $$$$ service call. That compression ring is no joke!
Thank you so much for the help .. Greatly appreciate I got it off yay !!!
Thank God you put up this video!!!

I'd like to see how the final connection came out? He crushed the pipe. I'll bet it will need to be repaired?

@@mattsinclair3200 Compression sleeve puller - $10 at home depot
Thank you!
Best one I've seen so far!
I would use a sleeve puller tool, like Pasco or English Tool. The vice grips are compressing the pipe.
works great with a copper pipe but what about the plastic blue lines?
I would never use vice grip, no matter how careful you are you can end up bending the copper pipe. Use proper tools to do the job. This too easy, because in real life spaces are usually pretty tight.
So what's the right way?
@@k.d.6059 Go to home depot get 14 dollar sleeve removal tool
@@k.d.6059 Use two wrenches or adjustable pliers so you have a control in how tight you tighten that pipe. With a vice grip you can easily over tighten.
If you tighten the view grips too tight and make the pipe out of round your gonna be hurting. Just saying.
How do you remove ferrule on a PEX pipe?
@@masterdoc1372 special cutter for pex
Why not reuse the existing ferrel. I always do and have had no problems. When you bend the pipe, you're gonna end up cutting and sweating on more pipe.
Would it be easier to use a compression sleeve puller?
@David H yes it is. I bought one today at Grovers for 12 bucks, had it off in less than two minutes. His method works just fine as well.
Worked like a charm with a little WD40
A little wd 40 would help slip the ring past the flange
I've got to do this myself. Going to get a puller & wd 40. Thanks for your excellent suggestion.
Were was the ferrule extractor?

Tried your method for removing a stick compression ring from 30 yo pipework.. No chance
There is ring remover from home depot. Don't use vise grips
Never use compression valves .... solder on a threaded connector and you good to go forever
Just spend $10 on a compression sleeve puller.
Do you have a link to one that works?

Is the water will leak thru compression ring and the nut?

You can return when done? Poster boy for morality there....sigh
There is litterally a tool made to remove copper rings from copper pipe without clamping down on the pipe.
Did this and now my new valve just slides off after I connect it...rip
how did you resolve the problem?
I use the saf- t- kut

Quarter turn valves are better .
