You should tell some of these so called plumbers NOT to use Pipe Dope with a Ferrule.
Thank you greatly for this video. You really make DYI projects a piece of cake. Bless you.
100% agree, I’ve always reused the original one.
Hello young lady where can I buy either one of those tools that you just showed on this video I’ve never seen them before but I would like to have one of those in my assortment of tools so please let me know where you located that and may Jesus Christ of Nazareth bless you your family and friends in your channel and keep you safe and give you lots of prosperity amen.✝️✝️✝️🙏🏻🇺🇸
excellent video as usual.
I happen to be a plumber and by no means do I hate you. It is fantastic that you are showing folks how to do simple tasks on their own. I would rather concentrate on bigger jobs than get called to go out and replace a leaking compression fitting. I can make a lot more money doing bigger jobs than these minor repairs. Kudos to you!
tru that, id probably do it for free. and get their biz for life , probably reuse the nut and ferrule as the existing old x new threads match up more often than they did 25 years ago. but i work in a town of 12k . and many miles and years from where the 10 meets the 405. ive got the 15/16 and 20mm wrenches in my stop bucket. i had to hit the 20mm on the with a grinder. 13/16 is a bit sloppy, they have regular and angled ends... crushing it. Or change all the stops in the bath or entire house and new escutcheons and supplies, some customers want to keep there house sterling and want Me to do it.
@@dollyhadbraces9361 That's the kind of business person I would patronize.
Amen brother!!! Fellow plumber here, I agree 100% with you, I always feel bad having to charge someone (especially seniors) for the simplest repairs. I’d rather have the big jobs too.
Fun fact!
A lot of times I find that the compression fitting has been so overtightened, that the tubing has been mushroomed thus needing to be cut off or replaced anyway
The thing that I dislike is the warning about x-professionals (insert profession of your choice) out to take outrageous amounts of money from you. In my experience, “a workman is worthy of his hire.” I like to learn by doing but sometimes you just want a problem solved easily,quickly & properly. Knowledge someone gained through experience/training is worth paying for. No shade at you, Jane😊
I was a handyman for 35 years, specializing in plumbing and I'd never seen this tool until this video. I may be retired but I still like to learn new tricks. Thanks
She’s the best , talks slowly so you can understand her and gives you confidence 👍👏
No...she's just confirmed a little information in the wrong hands is a dangerous thing, the pipe is deemed "second hand" if the ferrule is removed.
mate shes showing people who may not know how to remove a bad ferrule without damaging the pipe what do you mean by "a little information in the wrong hands is a dangerous thing" i aint even heard of this system and now i know what to buy and how to replace a bad ferrule if i ever come across one.
@@salcutropa Sigh...you can't put a new furrule back where the old one went and expect to get a water tight seal, hence the comment mate!
No plumbers hate you, what you are doing is educating ! Keep it up!
I am an old plumber too,you aren't giving up much. I think I might had to replace a Ferrell twice in forty years. We don't hate you
Educating you on how to destroy a stop valve😂
That phrase was used as a clickbait like other do.
Where have you been. Most folk hate when they have to deal with anyone that knows, can readily see, is aware of and can pick up on what’s going on. Being educated and knowing necessary specifics, has turned into something that only a select few is privy. I’m amazed when experiencing folk that think that they know who everyone is and what they’re capable of.
True facts!
I love the fact that you explain things loud and clear and best of all with NO extra background noise.
Thank you for all you do for us at home!
@davidh.888513 Absolutely agree with you, spot on comment. It bugs me a bunch when RUclips content creators play music over their voice. We came to hear them, we ae not there to fight music to hear them. On top of all that, due to our work environment we may have hearing difficulties.
@@ricdonato4328 I do have hearing difficulties.
Thank you so much again for your fantastic well made videos!
Clear, concise instructions. Camera showing what you are doing. No obnoxious background music. Nothing was skipped over. Refreshing! Thanks!
Gets to the point and job done. Other videos have to give a completely waste of time intro and history.
I’ve been a master plumber for over 30yrs and I’d never hate you or anyone learning or doing their own repair work . Plus anytime I do a home repair I check your videos first I really enjoy you . I am horrible at working with wood..
Plumber of over four decades here. I can tell you all that 999 times out of 1,000, you don’t need to remove/replace the nut and ferrule. A New stop will almost always go right back onto the old nut and ferrule without leaking. Always try doing this before going through the hassle of trying to pull the ferrule.
I just edited this post on 08/15/2024 to add that when I do pull a ferrule it is because the nut is exposed and looks bad, or a customer is changing the finish color of their fixtures and they want the new stops and supplies to match the faucet color, etc. but, I have never needed to use a ferrule puller - I have always been able to remove a ferrule by either just pulling it off or twisting it off with Channellocks in less time than it takes to use a ferrule puller. I made this edit to address some of the comments below.
That's the nice thing about brass, it'll conform to the new fitting pretty easily.
This most irritating thing for me when dealing with fixtures is knowing which one will fit with each other. I've done construction work for over 20 years and I still get overwhelmed when I walk down the plumbing aisle!😂
I disagree, but not strongly. The brass ferrule’s job is to deform to form a seal, and as metal, it has fatigue and deforming it again in-place may have unintended consequences. As a pro, you should use use the OEM furnished parts since you have the tools. Looking at your install, the old compression nut probably has lots of bruises from wrenching it. The customer deserves a shiny new valve assembly, especially since it’s 3 minutes more of your time and you have the tool.
@@tonymanero5544 Plumber for 51 years! And your wrong!!! there is no need to remove the ferrule. I have never had to remove one in my entire career.
Eh, maybe. Case by case determination.
As a plumber how can you guarantee that with a customer? A professional plumber will always remove the compression nut and ring and sand the pipe and install all new product.... Besides they don't sale just the angle stops without nut and ring....
This video instantly went into my "Repair" Playlist... thanks !!
Never start a plumbing project when the hardware store is closed
Haha. Most of them happen on weekend nights? right!
That's so true. Mamma mia plumbing takes so many trips to the hardware store. It's not the right thing for me: I prefer to have a large assortment of relevant tools and materials at hand and never have to travel.
That's the frustrating part of any DIY home project!😱
I kinda had this situation last Sunday morning at 3am...but I was putting up wall paneling..needed a half inch outlet extender and didn't have one..
Brilliant advice ❤
Your personality is the best gift you have to offer. Learning any type of skill from you would be an enjoyable experience. I think you're doing a great job.
After 40 years as a licensed plumber I'v never had a compression ferrule leak, but I must admit I'v never seen that tool before. I'm going to get one though even though I'm retired. Just so you all know, plumbers don't hate you for wanting to do your own work we're regular people too.
LoL then you must be a new construction plumber and not a service plumber 😂
40 years here HVAC and some plumbing. 1st time seeing this puller. I’ve always done it the hard way. Thanks!
The need to replace the nut is most often the reason for removing the ferrule, not a leak past the ferrule. You just hope the nut is in good enough shape to work with this type of tool!
Agree😂
40 year's of plumbing and never knew that tool existed. I change angle values every single day and never take the ferrule off. I just use the old nut. Never had a leak. But I'm going to order one
Please don't think people would dislike you. You are extraordinarily informative and much appreciated by a LOT of us 🙏🏼 Thank you!!
I’ve been a do it yourselfer for many years and was not aware of this tool. Thanks for educating us.
A ferrule puller is about $11 at Home Depot (Ridgid brand I think). You’ll use it only 1-4 times, but very handy. I agree with Leah that trying to cut off or pull off the old ferrule may result in more damage to the short supply pipe. And with your house water supply turned off, you want to and must finish this job ASAP or be very inconvenienced.
Been a plumber for over 40 yrs… service plumbing, new plumbing and old .. never ever had to to replace a ferrel .. but I like the tool I’m going to get one ..
Why? We all like nice new tools but if you've never needed one before ... why add more clutter? She says as my shed is seriously needing sorting out ...
What will you use it for then?
@@juntjoonunya9216 you never know … sometimes those crazy predicaments come along … I have the tool .. 😀
@@juntjoonunya9216 well... he's due :P
If you are changing a fitting on existing pipework say an elbow to a Tee, the existing nut and olive that is left on the pipe may not be compatible with the new fitting and in any case it pays to renew the whole fitting. You have to remove the olive (ferrule) to remove the existing nut and fit the new fitting. If you’ve never had to do that in 40 years you have been extraordinarily lucky or wherever you live have plumbing fittings that are all compatible. If that was the case then why is the removal tool even needed?
You’re the best teacher anyone could ever hope for. Thanks for another great money saving repair demonstration.
Leah Bolden is the most gentle, kind person I have ever had the pleasure to listen to.
She is so pleasant and patient, teaching her trade.
I doubt anyone could 'hate' her.
Always a good idea to tape your wrenches when working with chromed nuts so you don't scratch or otherwise damage the chrome.
Better yet, use the correct tools! 🤗
@@Stevenowski That might work, too.😀
You never put a pipe wrench on a chrome faucet or shut off
@@Stevenowskicorrect that's one of the differences between a pro sbd and novice
For those wondering, a strap wrench is what you'd use on chrome to avoid damaging the surface. You can also use them safely on plastic pipe fittings.
God bless you and God bless you tube. I no longer have my Dad to ask DIY advice as I lost him in 2022 due to cancer. Having people like yourself sharing your knowledge on you tube really helps alot of people. Thanks again.
I’m a professional handyman. You are an unbelievably deep source of knowledge for repairs! Even more valuable coming from a female, as you make home repairs approachable to EVERYONE! My wife has gained so much confidence from your videos!
I own the second tool for pulling handles. Never knew it pulled ferrals. Thanks, Jane. Love your videos!
You endlessly help people worldwide and spread the Love, Leah your Amazing 😊❤
ahhhh shucks!!!
Great video. That type of ferrule is called an olive in the UK. Can be a bit confusing. My sister read a note from her plumber saying that he had gone back to his workshop for nuts and olives. She thought that was a delighful idea and opened a bottle of wine for his return😂
Your sister's a nut!😅
Wha ha ha ... good one
Hoping he would accept a date as payment 😅
🎉 1 MILLION!!! 😊❤ Congratulations- you deserve it… we love you Leah!! TY so much 😘🙏
Ferule Puller! Who would have known... more importantly WHO would have told us other than Lady Leah with the most valuable channel on RUclips! Thanks Leah!
Jane is one of the best motivators and teachers on YT when it comes to home repairs. What a blessing.
With your help any one can do it , straight and to the point , no commercial. Awesome work
You have the absolute best tips coupled with an encouraging teaching style.
And she doesn't make a 30+ minute video out of a 5 minute tip.
@@elonever.2.071Absolutely!
I know, she’s the best! I think I’ve known of her channel for 10+ years now. Such an amazingly warm delivery style.. she makes you feel like you know her. 😃
Pro tip - use 2 crescent wrenches for the replacement stop body if you don't want scratch marks on your new stop.
150 dollars? Jane, I would be thrilled if that was the charge. In Los Angeles you are lucky to get a plumber and pay $300 for a basic repair. Thx for the video, I have the 2nd tool but had no idea that could be used to remove the ferrule, I only used it to remove shower handles. 🙏🙏
Agreed. I live in Georgia, and wanted to replace the leaking faucets for my master bathroom shower. He used a full 2-piece replacement kit that came with stems, seats, and trim. The total cost was $750. I was completely disgusted when my wife told me how much it was.
Since I knew the brand they used was Gerber, and both shower systems were original to the house, I bought a stepped seat removal tool for $15, and a 3-piece full replacement kit for $51, and did it myself for the guest bath.
@@demontekdigital1704 , I do most of the repairs at home. I understand they have to make a living but they charge attorney fees for their work. It’s rare finding someone who is fair in their prices.
And that is exactly why homeowners are learning to do their own repairs. There is a reasonable price to charge and then another outrageous price plumbers charge. I call that rape ! Plumbers that charge a ridiculous fee will soon find themselves out of work.
Right, I’ve called them out a few times and 250 has been the least I’ve had to pay.
Jane, Thank You, after watching your video and learning if the original ferrule puller. I purchased one, and it did what I've struggled with on several valves. It works! May I suggest that after removing the old valve, clean the end of pipe with a fine abrasive, then lubricate the pipe end. This will reduce resistance remaining. Wish I had heard of the puller sooner. I showed this to a sales associate at Home Depot. She was amazed and said she was going to order one.
Again, thank you
Can no longer afford repairmen, electricians, or plumbers. I will have to get me one of those pullers. Thank you for showing us how simple repairs can be.
Nonsense! The ferrell doesn't need to be pulled off as it is usually not damaged. Just screw the new shut-off valve on.
Actually, not replacing the ferrule can lead to leaks
@@seejanedrill a little pipe dope for lubrication and the ferrule will reseal almost every time. I have been a LICENSED plumber for 25 years.
@@seejanedrill I have experienced such leaks after not replacing the ferrule. I kind of knew this because it made sense, but I had to try using the old one because that's what you have to do in order to find out you're wrong.
If you have to walk through a minefield, follow someone. And put your feet where they put theirs.
This is a very good video. I’m a licensed master plumber. I don’t hate you. Ha ha. I put up videos to help diy’s also. I’m a do it yourselfer for all of the other work needed on my own home. I can’t afford to pay people to have the things that I want. With the Internet, Utube and some skills why not save the money and learn something. Just be realistic on your ability to perform some projects. Start small and build your confidence, tool base and understanding of how things work. I have done both. Removing the ferrule and replacing never had a leak. Occasionally I thought I’ll save time and leave the ferrule on. I had a couple leak so I always replace them now. Don’t forget a little bit of pipe dope on the ferrule can’t hurt. I have also cut ferrules, worked them off with a pair of mini pliers. It’s not that much fun in a tight space, which is where these valves are usually located. Serious diy’s should purchase tools that you will have for the rest of your life to do all the projects that eventually come with home ownership.
Thank you, Leah. God Bless for helping us seniors. People look to dig ontonourbpockets for simple repairs or full blown replacements. Thkngs are much different now than when we grew up. ❤😂🎉
How can ANYBODY hate you!

In England it’s called a olive
@@chipperkeithmgb Olive?
@@paulsmith9341 Yup, an olive.
People hate her? Why?
Ohhh, because of the title of the video! Ha ha
I think this channel should be called, "Everybody Loves Leah".
Thank you Leah for sharing your priceless knowledge. You have saved me from calling a plumber whom I was about to call to fix my leaky faucet. I will go to Lowe's to get that tool. Million thanks, Leah!!!
I used to use pliers to grab the ferrule and pull it off while slowly rotating it. Always worried about scratching the pipe! Will use one of these tools next time - thanks for the vid!
I am back!
Discovered wandering water under a sink and am getting ready ...one more time...to not be intimidated by a pipe coming out of a wall and a shut off valve and a supply line .
But while i have my pre dawn coffee i am discovering what i need to know to do this .
Thanks for being you, Leah!
Greetings from Reno, Nevada. I’m a mechanically inclined fluid power tech. I appreciate your efforts to educate and empower everybody that views your channel. I learn something every time I show up.
Excellent tool and demonstration! Now if I can find where to shut off the house water here in Florida, I could change out some old valves.... in NY I had a basement main shutoff. Easy peasy. Here in JAX, FL, I think the main water shutoff for the house is out at the street - according to the house inspection, that's where it is located.
SEEJANEDRILL ... your videos are and have been some of, if not the most consistent, helpful, straight to the point, practical, and informative over the years. Thank you!
Jane you are awesome! I am a female home inspector who did remodeling with a contractor. I'm always encouraging people to learn to take care of their homes themselves for certain small jobs IF they are so inclined; it's okay if they aren't but a lot of things are really so simple for them to do and it's empowering. Thank you, been watching for several years and you are by far the best. No music-straight to the point. Love it!
For every one person that “hates” you, a million others love u! Remember that!
I have been holding on to a puller for years and didn't know. Thank you; I am now educated.

Life long student here and you are right about learning.
God Bless You for helping those that can't afford a plumber or electrician.
It's always some tool I'll use twice in a lifetime that I have to call my handyman- God Bless Him - to come help me out. Thanks so much for letting everyone know not every repair takes an expensive expert.
Thanks for your clear , concise instructional videos. You give US the confidence to tackle these repairs and the knowledge to complete them. You are GREAT!

LIa, another GREAT video and thanks for sharing. My only thought would be to tell people to turn water OFF before doing any plumbing project like this.
I love that Leah knows how to do things properly more so than the “professionals” from legit companies.
Props to you for providing valuable info and also to the plumbers who posted below to let you know that they also give you props for the info you are sharing.
Something I've learned after 45 years of doing my own plumbing work - NEVER TRUST A SHUTOFF to actually shut off the water supply. ALWAYS turn on the faucet or flush a toilet to check that its shutoff is operational before attempting to replace that faucet's washer/insert or the toilet's flush valve. Doing so can often save you an exceedingly wet cleanup later! TVOE
Never knew the tool exists. Thank you darling.
Congrats on the 1M subs Lia!
This channel is always my first stop for all things that start with "There's gotta be a way to...".
I've been a decorator for about 18 years and a recent customer keeps asking me to do handyman jobs that first leave me smiling but thinking OMG ... but in stepping back, breathing and working it out and having your words in my head, each time I've quite quickly done the thing. I'm good at decorating but grateful for your videos when customers say ... oh ... could you also ....
"Where you have to pull one" is the key. I am a plumber & first of all I don't hate you. Secondly unless the compression nut or ferrell are damaged for some reason you don't have to remove them just to change a valve. I have been reusing the ferrell & compression nut for 30 years with no issues unless as I said one is damaged & has to be removed. Plumbing is not complicated, no reason to over complicate it.
I mean you paid for the new one might as well replace it. But it's good to know you don't NEED to do it.
Plumber here as well. These are 99% of the time reused.most residential will not see these either as pex is often used.
@breck8714 I've never reused a ferrel, ever. New escutcheon, new stop.
Ferrel blaster.
And unless it's a builder grade spec house, stub outs should be copper.
@@chug33 We typically do not see copper stub outs on residential, even on the higher end luxury homes. Maybe it’s a regional thing. Pex meets code and inspection requirements too.
Thank you for clarifying that. I'm not a plumber but I'm pretty handy. And I have done exactly what you mentioned several times.👍💪
Plumber here, the only reasons to remove that is if the old nut is severely damaged or if you care a lot about aesthetics.
As a retired plumber, I can tell you that you really don't need to replace the Ferrule, unless it's damage which is very very rare!
Retired Contractor, Master Plumber, the one that paid the Liability Insurance. Can you get away with not changing a ferrule, sure if your a hack just use a lot of dope and slap that new stop on their. But that once in a while when you get a flood because of it makes that a bad move.
And please don’t use a pipe wrench on fittings!!! NO matter what!
Yup, I did just this the when I replaced a shut-off valve about a month ago.
@@kmichaelp4508 Was thinking the same thing, two shifting spanners would have been a lot better than damage to the fitting. The Ferrell's that I have encountered are nearly always Pex.
You're more likely to damage the chrome on the fitting using the teeth on the wrench, sometimes a couple of wraps of ptfe tape does the trick
3rd generation pipefitter with 20 years of experience. I’ve had to “pull” exactly TWO ferrules in my entire life/career. Compression fittings are also going the way of the dinosaur with the invention of pro-press and PEX. BUT Lia did do an amazing job of demonstrating the process for the layperson/DIYer👍
Jane, in Ireland we call that round sparrow an OLIVE
I've heard my friends in Europe referring to it as an OLIVE
In England also, it's an olive.
Thank you 🙏 I have used a hacksaw blade as you said. I was extremely careful not to go all the way through. Took an old used knife. Stuck it in the crack and pushed it sideways. Tough job.
Best DIY instructor on RUclips, period.
Great video; right to the point. I haven't had a house with copper pipe in 15 years, but I hope to buy an older house again someday.
What plumber is coming to your house for $150 to do anything? What do you think this is 1982? 0:42
$150 to show up. To pull in your driveway. $150+the repair+ parts
I’m an “old tools” fan and love the first puller! Thanks for tip, Jane!
FYI: The English Tool Company (you can order online) makes a great patented Compression Sleeve Puller (1/2"). I believe thats the first tool Jane uses.
Makes sense ! .... It's like a wheel puller on a car. ( For steering wheels & pulleys ) As far as the principal goes.
Information like this is priceless! Thank you Jane! 💪
I've no idea why I watched this, I'm a retired electrician with no interest in plumbing repairs but I really enjoyed the video. It was excellently presented and I'm now considering buying a fellure puller or 'olive puller' as they call them here in the UK. They even sell them at screwfix.
Hi Lea! Good to see you. Thanks for showing and sharing. God Bless!
The pleasure is all mine
Thank you, great tip! I recall seeing the first tool in a plumbing supply shop but didn't realize what it was for. I have generally been able to install a new valve by reusing the old nut, leaving the old ferrule in place. But I always worried about an eventual leak.
I've never had to remove the retaining nut and ferel. If undamaged, just reuse it.
38 years of experience.
I became a plumbers helper right out of high school. I did that for about 2 years until I went in to the Airforce. Since then I have always done my on plumbing. I have never seen that first tool. I have a 5 1/2 ft tall and probably 4 1/2 ft wide toolbox. Close enough on the measurements. It's packed from top to bottom with tools for plumbing, automotive, and home repair. But it's missing that first tool she used. I have to get one. LOL she does an awesome job of showing people how to do things. I wished she had of went into a little more specifics about that first tool. It looked homemade. May God bless her and everyone on this channel.
You’re amazing!
I I’m an old plumber and I don’t hate you or anybody keep doing what you do !
Top tip ! " 38 years experience" You don't need to remove it. !!
Just use the existing ferrule with the new compression valve..
Only someone utterly clueless would do that
Completely unnecessary.. Literally replaced a few hundred of these.
Leah thanks for showing me these tools. I have done my own plumbing for ages and didn't know of either of these tools.
As far as a Plumber it's $150.00 just for one to come out. I am fortunate as my son is The Cajun Ninja so I just give them an autographed copy of his cookbook and a can of his PIYAHHHHH Seasoning and it's all good. But with that being said Girl you know your stuff. I have so much respect for you with all the videos you put out there to help people. Great Job!
The pleasure is all mine and I've gotta check out your son's channel.
Thank you so so much. Any help to reduce repairs is a blessing. God bless
'Plumbers hate me' I doubt it very much.
If you're removing a ton of angle stops worth buying. I use baby channel locks lightly squeeze the ferrule in a circle pattern comes off Everytime . Also put a little pipe dope on the ferrule so the ferrule crushes evenly since they took the lead out of the angle stops. Great video
I was a plumber and I don’t hate anybody! Thank you for sharing
I never came across an issue of this sort in plumbing . I really like this great tip . I hope I can remember this .
Saying plumbers hate you for that is like saying auto mechanics would hate you for teaching people how to change their headlight bulbs. Honestly, they'd rather people do that stuff themselves than waste the professionals time.
The title was to draw your attention to get you to watch. IT WORKED! So relax. Yanno why i watch? Cuz i cant believe she wears that jacket year round.
Speaking from experience, there have been times where I've removed the ferrule without cutting it and it actually deforms the copper, making it just slightly smaller, creating a situation that'll leak and you'll then have to cut the copper back and sometimes you don't have room to get a new stop on there
I can't imagine anyone but the most hard hearted plumber "hating" Leah! I have to admit that working on short copper pipes in the wall makes me nervous. I've only replaced a couple of valves and so far reusing the existing ferrule has been OK. When I was married, letting a plumber do a job and take the blame if it failed was much safer than the wrath of my ex! LOL
Nice. I used a propane torch and a pair of pliers. Heat up the Ferrule then twist/work it off with the pliers. Hey, it worked for me!
$150? I don’t get out of bed for less than $225. Usually, I don’t bother removing the ferrules unless I have to. I’ll remove them if it’s damaged or if the escutcheon needs to be changed. For diy, I’d recommend just reusing the old nut and ferrule on the new angle stop. If you do decide to remove it, I’d recommend another option. They make a cutter style tool. You can find them online or at plumbing supply houses. It has a piece that goes a couple of inches inside the pipe so it resizes it. I tap it in with a mallet. Then you tighten down this screw and it cuts the ferrule. You can usually remove it easily then and if not just spin it 180 deg and do it again. I like this because it works better on compression fittings that have been over tightened. It’s less likely to damage the pipe.
It takes a lot of money to get you motivated. Indians work hard at labour jobs all day every day for $7 per day.

@@joshcowart2446 I don't know how they stay motivated, it's impressive
Wow, you're cheap. Lol
Electrician here who've tinkered with plumbing. Got the first tool off Amazon in 2019 (less than $20 still now), and it's one my wonderful gizmos. I do use a bit of WD-40 on the ferrule to make it easier to pull out. The second tool appeals to me-might get one. TY, plumber, for educating us! And please keep it up! 😊
How to videos are great. They are really deflationary since whatever you can do yourself means you need to hire less and pay government less in taxes.
Having a big crush on you right now. Just found your channel. You taught me to cope and now you are teaching me so much more. I've watched so many vids on how to cope moulding but just wasn't getting it until your video. You are a GREAT teacher. Thank you SO much for your time and knowledge.
Here's me watching you again knowing full well I'll never do any of this. But thanks Leah.
i remember watching your videos for so much inspiration on stuff that i never thought i could do. thanks for being an awesome teacher! i recently had to replace hot and cold water shutoffs in an 1940's building in the kitchen and bathroom. both had threaded incoming hot and cold water pipes with those cheap 99 cent shutoffs whose washers no longer close properly. there was no ferrule. i highly recommend people get heavy duty quarter turn shutoffs. yes they cost about $10 each at Home Depot, but make life so much easier. mine were labeled "made in italy". the super had to turn off the water mains just so i could thread on the new shutoffs along with some plumbers tape. changing the undersink water filter is now a snap.
A little bit of patience, a hacksaw blade, and a flat-blade screwdriver and that's only needed if it's an old fitting that needs a different compression fitting. The old olive and back nut 95% of the time is fine and just need to change the isolation valve as they tend to leak from the body center.
Great info to know Leah! I've changed shutoff valves and just left the old ferrule on because I had no idea how to get it off. Luckily that worked but now I know how to get them off if I ever need to. Thanks for sharing this!
