What happens here

With the tubing cutter properly positioned, begin rotating the tool around the valve while gradually tightening the knob. You will hear a 'cracking' sound as the cutter blade penetrates and severs the valve material. Continue this process until the front section of the valve detaches completely from the pipe.

Goal: Detach the valve from the pipe using the tubing cutter.

What they say

Hide

from 1/4 in to 1 1/8 in. I also happen to have this ratcheting attachment for it. We're going to cut right up here at the front by this O-ring. So, you're going to want to take the escutcheon off, slide this on up in here. You hear it start cracking? Off. We'll then take this piece right here, slide it back. You can remove the O-ring. You want to just grab a little pair of snips.
