There's nothing worse than a leaky or nonworking shut off valve. Especially in the bathroom.
When your toilet starts to overflow you want that shut off to work ASAP.
This video shares how to remove an old shut off, what tool can help with compression fittings and why 1/4 ball valves are the best option for new shut offs.

Outstanding video - No fluff, no annoying music, no aggrandizing. Well done!
Excellent delivery. Efficient no-nonsense and well paced. All RUclips content producers could learn from this. You earned a subscriber.
An excellent video and well detailed. Because these are chrome plated replacement valves, the only thing I would personally do different, would be to use an adjustable wrench instead of channel lock pliers. This will minimize scratches to the chrome finish. I have personally used wooden popsicle (craft) sticks, by placing these between the adjustable wrench Jaws and the various chrome fitting nuts. This protects the fittings finish 100%, and you are still able to achieve a leak-free repair.😊
This was the best shut off valve video out of the 5 I watched. Gave me the confidence to do it myself, and no leaks!
I maintain a facility with at least 1,500 of these types of compression valves. TRY THIS: unscrew the valve and discard. Use a new valve but do not remove the old ferrule and nut. just clean the AREA of the ferrule that touches the new valve so there are no pieces of crud around and screw on the new valve. Works 99% of the time. Saves time. I have had success with this method on over 100 valves, just saying it is an option..UPDATE: Sometimes the new valve has a shorter depth and does not go up to the ferrule tight. Just cut off a 1/16 or an 1/8 from the end of the copper pipe and it should mate perfect.
Glad you chimed in! My ferule was stuck to the copper pipe, almost as tho the pipe had swelled ever so slightly over the 13 years the valve has been in place. Anyway, I left the ferule and nut in place and replaced the valve, tightened it super tight, and it worked! No leak so far. Saved time and headache!
i been doing this for 30 years never had a call back I always hit the old ferrule with a dab of gas pipe dope..
That's what I do
I have a bunch of ferrule cats in my basement for years.
That's what I was thinking of trying. Since I'm a total plumbing noob, your comment made me pretty happy! I currently have a flood in my bathroom and am trying to simplify this shut-off valve failure as much as possible, since I still need to contend with my original problem...a badly leaking toilet tank! 😓
I stumbled onto this video at just the right time. My shut offs are all soldered on, I bought a threaded and a compression 1/4 turn valves. Thanks to your video, and you easy to understand instructions, I will be changing the broken shut off valve in my bathroom this morning. Fingers crossed. Thank you for the info!
Simply the best tutorial, I learned so many new things. I've done this about 40 years ago, I forgot that you don't need soldering - that's what I was most afraid of ( Not equiped for soldering, would have to borrow or buy, the space kind of tight, the danger of setting the apartment on fire or melting the plastic stuff beside the pipe ) I'm very happy that I found your video. You're a great teacher !!! Many thanks from a greatfull woman who likes to fix things ( so far successfully ).
very helpful as I'm planning to fix a sink.
You do the most comprehensive, easy to follow tutorials ive seen...and i watch ALOT bc im a serial DIYr. Thank u so much!!!
your channel deserves a sub just for showing the PASCO and AUTOCUT tools! love the tools, thanks!
Thanks so much. Had a leaking shut off under the kitchen sink. I got the valve that looked like the existing valve thinking it was a simple threaded valve. Took the leaking one off to find it was a compression fitting.
I try to avoid plumbing other than replacing a faucet so I’ve never worked on a compression fitting before but you guide helped immensely. Replaced it without much trouble.
I have a couple more to replace that have bad knobs but no leaks. Not tonight though. It’s 11PM. lol.
Thank You!
Oh goodness, thank you for the tip about the Pasco. I live in an old cabin and I want to replace the shutoff valves with the new half turn types. As a woman, I remember it was almost impossible for me to get the compression ring off, and really that is the only part of the job that can be a holdup. I went to Amazon and was tempted to buy a cheaper brand but reading the reviews they said the cheaper brands bend the copper tubing, so with a big gulp, I bought the Pasco for about $35. Thanks so much! Now I anticipate this to be somewhat fun to do, which correlates as feeling happily satisfied at the results, well, as much fun as these kinds of projects can be.
After having to saw off a rusty galvanized water pipe, cap it off, and wrap it with PermaWrap so I didn't have to pay a plumber $500 to come all the way here, this will be a bit more fun.
This is one of the most informative, thorough, and easy to understand how-to video I've ever watched! I'm currently troubleshooting a toilet tank leak in a 1950s home when suddenly the shut-off valve ceased to shut off the water to the toilet tank! My bathroom is flooded and I've been at a loss for what to do since I can't afford a plumber! Thank you so much for this excellent tutorial!! 🙏🙏 I've successfully replaced ball joints on my car in the past, but this plumbing issue has me feeling so lost I was ready to give up. Thanks to this video I feel empowered and have confidence that I CAN fix this myself! After I get the shutoff valve repaired, then I can go back to the original problem... figuring out how to repair the leaking tank! 😓😩🤦♀️
Thank you for taking the time to explain this fix.
I listen to your podcast and to see you on RUclips was more helpful. I had a leak under my kitchen dishwasher water valve. Changed the valve to the quarter turn valve. Had some trouble loosening the compression nut. Used some PB Baster to loosen. Remember to get the valve that works for the 'compression nut' on the water outlet. I almost bought the' fine 'thread valve which is for the threaded pipe outlet.
Thank you, young man! Excellent detail without dragging things out! I'm so glad I watched your video before getting started and realizing I might not have the necessary tools. (whew!) You are a great presenter!
Your video just saved us hundreds of dollars (Saturday night... emergency services charges...). I was able to swap this thing out and turn the water main back on.
Great video!
Thank you, was apprehensive about the push on valve because it spins, really good to get confirmation that it doesn’t leak 👍🏻👍🏻
Just wanted to say that after watching video after video this is the one that finally helped me complete this replacement. The compression ring didn’t come off quite as simple but it eventually did. Followed it up with a shark bite fitting and it worked flawlessly. Thank you again.
This is the best video on this subject. Well thought out and planned before videoing. No stupid BS to have to listen to just to get to the point. Outstanding job. Thanks for sharing. Now I can tackle this job with confidence.
Thank you 🙏🏼🔥
Thank you for all the wisdom and professional help when it comes to shut off valves. .
Great video. As a realtor, I see frozen shut-off valves in almost every home inspection. For my clients who want to DIY, I will send them this video link. As always, thanks for for great info and giving us all confidence in our DIY projects!
+Lauren Sato thanks so much, how's the housing market out your way? Are homes in high demand?
Housing market continues to be strong here in the Phoenix area - especially in the sub $300K price range. Can't believe folks are willing to go look at homes when the temps are in the triple digits....but I'm happy to accommodate them!
I thought this might be easy to do but when I went to the hardware store I was overwhelmed with all of the choices and didn't know what I was getting myself into. Watching this video was very helpful and helped answer a few questions I had. Thanks for the easy to understand video!
This was so helpful. And I must say I absolutely love the bushes in the background
Wow- you explained this so well! I got a new sink on, (cracked ) new pipes, and reconnected to discover I also had a leak at the shut off valve. Now I feel like I have more knowledge to move forward and tackle this last step.
So well done. Explained simply; well illustrated.
Excellent video very informative for beginners! Only one small correction. When removing the old angle valve, use channel locks to hold the valve in place and turn the compression nut clockwise (with your other wrench) to loosen the nut from the copper pipe.
Thank you Jeff. I learn something new and interesting today. Great teacher!
I am having leaks from the shutoff valve in my kitchen. Your tips of replacing the shutoff valve very helpful. Thanks a lot
Thank you very much. You do a nice job of explaining the 2 different types of compression & push-in valves.
Your calm and reassuring approach gave me the confidence to try this myself. Thank you for taking the time to share this information. One of the best instructional videos I have seen.
I really like your pasco compression pipe puller. Thank you for the great video.
What a great video! Very instructive and well done and illustrated! Subscribed!!
Very helpful video. Clearly presented with just the right amount of detail for a DIY job,
Thank you very much for showing how to take off a compression shut off valve!
Thanks this turn a fearful to a courageous moment.
Showing the different types helps immensely. I've been really intimidated by approaching something like this and didn't want to create an even worse problem with the valve.
Excellent explanation. Thank you for showing every possible option and how each works. Great easy explanation.
This is a simply PERFECTLY done video on this matter. THANK YOU! 😎👍👍
Thank you so much for posting this video! This was exactly the information I’ve been searching for & you explain everything so well! This has been so much help for me!
Thanks a million for sharing this great video . On my rental I avoid compression fitting instead solder a male fitting and buy screw type ball valve this way I am sure there is no leak ,done this for over 30 years and no more soldering now .
This video is so helpful. Thank you for making it. Can't wait to finish this damn repair. I'll pay happily to someone else from now on.
Excellent lesson & easy to understand, thank you! 😊
This video just saved me hundreds of dollars
New to y’all channel and I love what y’all do.
Awesome and informative video. Thank you.
Thanks for the video. My old house had the upstairs bathroom blowout the compression fittings which sent water all over the floor below. I vowed never to use those again. However, it looks like the shark bite is as easy to use and very reliable. Thanks again.
Good Review - thanks for the help and I will be purchasing the tool to remove the old valvue. I have and older house and have those darn connections so that tool will be used. Have a great day!
This was a very helpful and useful tip. Fix the problem right away. Thanks so much.
There is a special place in Heaven for you! Thank you for posting this and for being you!
Jeff- thank you very much. Saved my Sunday.
I bought a puller similar to what you show in the video and it just slipped around the compression ring and failed to pull the ring off. A much better puller actually threads into the nut that is on the copper pipe and when you use the puller the ring comes off with the nut! Much better!
Nice video....great tips, especially showing various shutoff valves.
I bought the exact tool he recommended if you choose take off the compression sleeve. It works like garbage if you try to take off just the sleeve. It works great if you try to take off the nut and sleeve at the same time.
Having said that the new assembly won’t seat right, going to cut the pipe and try shark bite.
For the other pipes going to try what the top commenter said, don’t remove whole assembly. Just going to replace the valve (leaving old nut and compression sleeve).
Excellent overview. As thorough as required
If you use adjustable wrenches you won't damage the valves finish.
Thank you. Explained very well.
love your tips for a homeowner first . my house is 5 years old and I am starting to Chang wall colors changing bathroom fixtures etc I always like your tips it helps me to think about how to plan out my day . appreciate all u do thanks
+Sammie Garcia thanks, and congrats on your home!!! Great job tackling projects. It's hard to get started but once you're in the groove it becomes easier. What colors did you choose?
Sammie, as a new homeowner, my advice to you is, when something in your home needs anything, get bold and consider doing it yourself. When you see a problem, review a bunch of videos and decide if you want to take it on yourself. I have repaired or replaced my dishwasher, all the faucets, replaced wall switches, repaired ceiling fans and gutted/replaced the toilet parts. So much you can do and as a homeowner, if you don't learn how to do things you'll blow your mortgage payments on professionals. Some things should be left to the pros, like central air and electrical wiring. Good luck to you!
Thanks for all these great tips on shutoffs valves
Excellent explanation of the different valves.!
watched your video before replaing my toilet shut off valve with a shark bike valve, saved me a lot and worked great, Many Thanks
👍🏼👍🏼🔥🔥
bike -> bite 😊
He's the best at detailed explanations
Thank you my friend
Great video. Very informative and precise. Thank you!
Great video. Very helpful with clear explanations and graphic demonstrations. Much thanks!
+Sarah thanks, I got an email last week from one of our community members and that prompted the video 👍
Well I was struggling with the compression valve and gave me some enlightenment on taping the valve thank you so much.
Man...I love you....really, really, really. You have changed my life with this one.
Thanks Etta, they're a great option for bathrooms
Great information. Covered everything I was considering.
Very helpful video and great presentation. Thanks!
The clearest demonstration!
Thank you 🙏🏼
Super how-to video. First time I've ever heard of the "shark bite" fitting; thanks for demonstrating it.
thanks, they’re a great option
The shark bites worked great on my water softener, now excited to see how they work on faucet shutoff valves! Thanks!
Great video. Well-edited with lots of useful tips. Thanks!
Thank you for the very good explanation. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
This was so helpful thank you! We removed the shut off valve and the compression ring was stuck on and water is still slowly dripping out. This was super helpful to get It done quickly.
Excellent demonstration! Thanks much.
You are the best. Just saved my ass on a bathroom renovation. 🙌
Loved the video. If you have any homes where you are changing fixtures or stop valves on polybutylene pipe, please do a video! I learned by reading and watching other similar videos, but there isn’t anything very specific.
I thought I was starting a simple project of replacing a dripping kitchen faucet. I realize that the shut off valves on both my cold and hot water pipes weren’t completely stopping the water, not a huge deal once the water would be back on, but to save water I bought some end caps. When it kept dripping I realized that the clamps on the polybutylene pipe at the female ends had both failed as well. Not my best day! Apparently this is common, which is why that grey piping is now banned. Too bad my house is full of it! Luckily I learned about SharkBite products. Make sure you get the specific attachment for polybutylene. All other SharkBite attachments are not compatible with grey polybutylene! Once your attached to the pipe you can change to PEX or SharkBite tubing and use what ever other product you like. I chose a braided hose with its own 1/4 turn shut off valve, in case I needed to change the faucet in the future. All in all, I managed to get it fixed without calling a plumber.
A video showing this information and process would have been so much easier and would have saved me a lot of time!
At one point in time there was a class action lawsuit settlement against the manufacturer (s) of that type of piping, but time limited to apply.
Great video very detailed and straight to the point thank you so much from California......👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks!! Did a great job explaining everything!
Excellent overview. Well done 👍
i, have a angle stop tool remover that de mounts the metal compression ring by pulling the retaining nut out from the back. nice video.
Super man!
I like the way you explained.
You are awesome! Thank you from Vancouver Island. Cheers.
I like this man who has the knowledge and takes time to explain it in such a soothing way
Thanks
Great illustrations!
Thank you for your video. It was extremely helpful and much appreciated !
Thanks for the video - very helpful. My experience is that the compression sleeve or ‘olive’ as we call it here in the UK can be very difficult to remove without damaging the pipe, so if possible it might be better to choose a fitting where you can re-use the old nut and olive.
Thanks for your tutorial, it was a great video and tips
Very good tutorial! Thank you very much.
Great video! I will have to show this to my dad.
Thank you for a through explanation you helped our home much appreciated Sir !
Hey you're the guy I've been looking for! I've got a leak under my bathroom sink at the shut off valve so I put a pot under it to catch the water to flush my toilet because it is broken as well!!
I'm watching videos until I feel confident enough to attempt repairs myself.
Let me know if you have any questions but sounds like you have it under control
@@HomeRepairTutor Thanks, will do. 😎
Great. Thanks very nice explanation YOU ARE THE BEST
Your video came helpful just in time. Thanks
Thanks for this helpful video.
A washer in my shutoff valves under my sink was causing bits of rubber washer to get into the faucet ceramic valve. My solution was to shut off the water, drain enough water to prevent any more coming from the sink, remove the innards of the valve, and replace with the innards from new shutoff valves. I did both hot and cold valves since I could not be sure whether only one had a damaged washer. This method allowed me to fix the valves without removing them where they were soldered onto the copper pipe in 1985. I have the same type of repairs planned for a house built around 1950, but I have to shut off the whole house first. One is a leaking toilet shutoff valve that needs to be replaced. Others are sink shutoff valves that are so old they are difficult to turn.
Hey, Jeff - great video as usual. I am not that handy as my husband takes care of home repairs. But by watching you, I know I could do this. One minor remark, please advise people to shut off the water before attempting this kind of repair. Thanks again.
+Liliana Wells thank you, and yes...always turn the water off at the main before tinkering with a shutoff 😀
Nice work, appreciate you getting right into it
This video helped me fix my toilet myself! Saved sooo much money and boosted my ego at the same time. win/win!
You explained so well to me. Thank you much.
hellll yeah....helping me go deeper down the rabbit hole that is my master bath toilet!! LOL
This is very helpful. Thank you.
