What happens here

Slide the new compression nut and ferrule onto the copper pipe, followed by the new angle stop valve. Hand-tighten the nut as much as possible. Then, use the angle stop wrench (or ratchet) to tighten the compression nut. Ensure the valve body is held steady to prevent it from turning with the nut. Continue tightening until the nut is snug, usually about 1/2 to 3/4 turn past hand-tight, but avoid over-tightening which can damage the ferrule or pipe. The video emphasizes keeping the valve pushed back against the wall during tightening.

Goal: Install the new compression angle stop onto the copper pipe, ensuring it is properly tightened for a secure, leak-free connection.

tighten and always make sure that it stays pushed back right you always want to make sure that it's all the way back against the front of the pipe oh so now what you're looking at you just unthreaded this right so that's what we're looking at that is a common thing why because you're actually threading backwards and it it it really can be difficult that way but you just have to remember now that you're actually tightening this one technically you want to give leverage there and you want to go the other way but you also want to keep this straight right so keeping this straight keeping this back inside against the wall and then tightening the opposite way essentially nice you feel that yeah there's a lot of tension okay all right so now this one's good you've got it on there just shut it off and we'll go to the next one
