What happens here

Before cutting, slide the escutcheon plate, the decorative ring covering the pipe opening, off the valve and away from the wall. Then, carefully position the Ridgid tubing cutter around the valve. The ideal spot to cut is right up against the O-ring of the valve. Engage the ratcheting attachment and begin turning the cutter. The tool will gradually score and then cut through the plastic body of the valve. Continue until the valve separates cleanly from the pipe.

Goal: Sever the valve from the pipe

Tools and materials

What they say

Hide

It goes from quarter inch to inch to eighth. I also happen to have this ratcheting attachment for it. I'm going to cut right up here at front by this o-ring. So you're going to want to take the discussion off. Slide this on up in here. You're going to start cracking. Awful to take this piece right here. Slide it back. You can remove the o-ring. You want to just grab a little pair of snips.
