      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.

    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.

    • @tonymanero5544
      @tonymanero5544 5 месяцев назад +112

      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.

      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.

      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?

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.

    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

    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

    $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.
