What happens here

Begin by assessing the existing setup, specifically the barrel and nut of the old valve. The first method suggested for removing the old ferrule involves using pliers, such as Knipex Cobra pliers, to grab the ferrule and wiggle it back and forth to loosen it from the pipe. If this 'replumb method' is not effective, an alternative is to use a hacksaw to carefully split the nut and ferrule to facilitate removal. Another, more specialized tool, is a ferrule puller, which can be used to extract the ferrule without damaging the pipe.

Goal: Remove the old ferrule and nut from the pipe.

Tools and materials
