What happens here

Select a new quarter-turn shut-off valve. These valves offer a quick 90-degree turn for full on/off control, unlike older multi-turn valves. Place a new nut onto the copper pipe, followed by a new ferrule. Apply a multi-purpose thread sealant, such as Megaloc, to the threads of the new valve. Then, attach the new quarter-turn valve to the pipe and begin hand-tightening the nut. Use an adjustable wrench to firmly tighten the nut until you feel it compress the ferrule and secure the valve.

Goal: Securely install the new quarter-turn shut-off valve.

Tools and materials

  • Adjustable Wrench — Tightening the nut onto the valve
  • New Ferrule — Creating the seal between the pipe and the valve
  • New Nut — Securing the compression fitting
  • Quarter-Turn Valve — The new shut-off valve

What they say

Hide

nut, remove it, or you can get a tool like one of these feral pullers, clean up your pipe, grab a new valve, preferably quarter turn, nut, put on a new feral, always like to put a little mega lock on. You'll feel it start to tighten and get nice and hooked up there. This valve comes with a 3-8 nut and feral, but we are going to be hooking this back up with a braided flex supply line hand tight at no more than one full turn afterwards.
