BEST METHOD TO REPLACE FLOWTITE VALVE ON CPVC PIPE

What happens here

Position the saw blade and make a circular cut around the escutcheon, the decorative plate that covers the pipe opening in the wall. This cut should be made as close as possible to the wall, cutting through the outer casing of the valve where it meets the escutcheon. This helps in detaching the main body of the valve from the pipe.

Goal: Carefully saw around the pipe escutcheon to create a clean break point for the valve's outer casing.
