How to Replace a Old Toilet Shut Off Valve...RIGHT TOOLS FOR THE JOB!!

hey folks that fix it guy here and today i'm going to be helping a friend of mine change out a toilet shut off valve for his master bath toilet if you have the right tools this is very easy along comes this this right here is a compression sleeve puller this right here will save you a lot of heartache a lot of headache and it's gonna hook you up so come along let's get to fixing okay so the first thing we're gonna do is you're gonna come and you're going to shut the water off and so their particular shutoff valve is actually right here in the wall in their laundry room in the basement so we'll just turn that to the right you want to make sure it shuts all the way off and we're good to go so then you want to come to this particular faucet is in the basement and we're just going to go ahead and we're going to open that and we're going to drain the water out once it stops we're going to open something up upstairs it's going to drain down into this faucet it's going to be good to go okay so what we're going to do here is you can see if this is not disconnected from your fill valve then you want to go ahead disconnect this right here pull that off and then open this valve we already have a faucet downstairs open all the water is going to drain out of this line and we're going to have no water in here we go to pull this apart this angle stop supply line combo right here you can see it this is corrugated copper i'm actually going to save this from this job and we'll talk about them because they really are bad i've seen these things flood a lot of homes when they break this is a one-time use when you take this and you pull this out of this valve and you try to put it back in that valve there is a good chance that some part of this corrugated copper in here is going to break you don't want to reuse this so we're going to remove it this is a very easy thing to do if you have the right tools right so right here i have a one stop wrench this actually is going to allow you to get on here and hold this down we're also going to need another crescent wrench or adjustable jaw wrench for this with these right here what i like to do is because this one piece supply line combo it kind of it makes it a little bit more difficult to mess with to actually even work in here so i just actually take this thing and you can see how easy this breaks off it just broke off very quick so we'll just take that get that out of our way and now we'll be able to get in here and we'll be able to hold this down nope we're gonna need the bigger wrench let's see yeah perfect so we can use the smaller wrench but that's all right so just grab the bigger adjustable jaw you're going to want to spin the valve itself counterclockwise while holding the backup on the other nut you want to make sure that you have this backed up because if not the whole thing will spin or never get it out okay let's actually use this right get that right leverage there oh okay that bad puppy is okay so we're able to actually get we weren't able to spin the valve but we were able to spin the back nut which is good okay so now this whole thing is kind of coming loose right we're able to take this we'll just hold it i can see why i think they put a little plumber's putty on the threads to seal this whenever they put it together it could be pipe dope but it looks like it's a plumber's putty you might want to put a sponge or something down you might still get a little drip we just got a little toilet paper down there and so the next thing we're going to do this right here is my favorite compression sleeve puller of all time this is made by the english tool company and i'm gonna tell you there's nothing like it okay i am a hundred percent positive i've tried many i will be doing a tour review soon and a comparison on all the different ones these that i have i've probably got four different ones at home right now and i'm going to tell you by far this little bugger has been the best so you take this you want to unscrew this out put this over this get it all the way out as far as you can and you want to thread it into that nut that's still on there and then i grab one of these wrenches right here that actually have the ratcheting box inside because i want it to just work very easy for me if you guys like this kind of content please jump on in here subscribe to the channel you know i'm just trying to do things to help homeowners out hopefully i'm doing that for you and i'd love to have you keep coming back and so now you're just going to tighten this up get it as tight as you can and you just keep turning turning turning turning as you turn this is actually pulling off the wall right there let me see if i can get up here and show you just on that back side right there you can see that shiny copper coming through up top there sorry if this is shaky it's kind of hard to to do really this is a very very tight spot here okay but we're almost off [Music] it's almost having to do this whole thing one-handed [Music] okay so that's off of there and look at that if you get down on there look at that you can see where it goes from shiny to just used brass right there so around that brass barrel like nothing's gonna get in there that's actually pretty tight we're gonna take some mega lock i like to use mega lock just right around not the thread so much but actually right around the ferrule portion right so right around here because this is actually going to seal right inside this nut and right around this piece of the valve right there that actually just sits in there and it compresses on so we can put a little touch on the threads too but really where i like to go is right here so just right around this a little bit of pipe dope there we could put just a little bit around this too doesn't have to be tons some people might tell you oh you don't even need that but you know what i like to not have a leak and mega lock always is available it's always easy to come off of stuff right it doesn't dry hard like a lot of other pipe dopes and so then i just like to put it back together but really loose so that i can just take it and slide it right on let me wipe my fingers off here because i get this stuff everywhere now we can go ahead and use the one stop wrench the way it's intended right so you're able to take this screw this thing apart and make it into two pieces you put one side in the front to hold on and then the other side back here you're able to put on and tighten it up okay so with these you don't need to crazy tighten it down okay i'm just going to let you know [Music] but you do want to make sure that it's pretty tight there is a such thing as over tightening that and i will show you at some point in a different video like what over tightening this looks like because if you over tighten one of these things and you ever have to take it back apart there's a good chance that you're pulling out a mini hacksaw you're pulling out a pipe cutter you're pulling out something and that's going to be good and tight we're able to go ahead and shut that off and now we're gonna be able to put on the supply line as far as a valve goes i personally like to go quarter turn style right quarter turn on quarter turn off they seem to last a long time if you find one that's solid metal inside they're really good i mean man if i could go quarter turn for everything i would ball valve style stuff is the way to go we're not going to need this little nut and ferrule right here that's for a different time this is kind of you know a little bit more old school when you're using uh copper and actually bending um bending up the tubing to make the connection and at some point i'll show you guys that too but for today we're going to go with this toilet by 3 8 flexible supply line this is a braided flex supply line they make kind of plastic flex supply lines but this actually is braided stainless steel over hose and these things work awesome so i just like to connect it on the bottom so the actual connection is pretty short so we're actually just going to go ahead we're going to make a little twist in it make it look a little fancy i guess you can buy these hoses in different lengths i typically just buy 12s and 18s though so and this right here is like a uh six or a seven inch gap differential so you're gonna have to do something with it on the top one i go hand tight all right with the bottom one you can grab your you know this is the bottom part of the one stop wrench you could grab that that'll go on here and that'll do that or if you don't have one of these well then grab a little adjustable jaw you know it's typically why i have this little stubby with me all the time is for little tight spaces exactly like this and you're able to just go ahead and hook this back up okay so with this you just want to go hand tight and then plus a quarter turn right and the same thing here i actually just go hand tight that usually has been very good for me you could snug it up a little bit more if you wanted to but you're not going to need to man hand tight is going to be great right here and now we're ready to go ahead we're going to go turn the water back on and we're going to test this out okay so now we're going to turn the water back on when you turn this back on leave your faucets open and just open this slowly when you open it real slowly you get water trickling you're not going to get a lot of water hammer you know you just kind of crack it once you get water running out of all your faucets then you can go ahead and shut it off and you're not going to hear any more water going through this and then you're going to be able to open it up the rest of the way okay so now you've got most of the air out of the lines here now we'll just turn this on the rest of the way right oh that's turning it back off okay that's what i do sometimes all right nobody's perfect here folks so we've got that the whole way open you just want to come about a quarter turn or so back the other way that way it's always going to be able to move for you you don't want it to get it stuck in that open position and have the valve break or something okay and so now we're just underneath here we're going to go ahead and just slowly open this oh we got a little air in this line tried to get all that air out sometimes you get just a little bit everything looks good to go all right folks so that's how i change out a compression style water shut off valve on copper pipe right so that's typically a half inch angle stop is what they're called in the plumbing trade all right these things they're really easy if you have the right tools and this right here is in my opinion the best tool and the right tool for the job it doesn't work every single time but it works most of the time there are occasions where somebody is way over tighten something and it's not going to take it off you're going to have to cut it off you're going to have to figure out some other way not a big deal i really hope that this video has helped if you could please subscribe to the channel click the like button we would greatly appreciate it we're just trying to help and we really hope that we're doing that thank you very much and we'll see you again real soon
