Loosen and Remove the Old Water Shut-Off Valve

What happens here

The video demonstrates the process of removing an old water shut-off valve. First, attach an appropriate wrench (either a socket wrench with the correct size socket or an adjustable wrench) to the nut connecting the valve to the pipe. The key is to position the wrench as close as possible to the pipe connection to maximize leverage, making it easier to break the seal and turn the often-tightened nut. Once the nut is initially loosened, continue to unscrew it completely, either with the wrench or by hand, until the entire valve assembly can be pulled free from the pipe. The presenter notes that since these valves are being replaced, minor cosmetic damage to the nut from excessive force is less of a concern than if they were to be reused.

Goal: Detach the old water shut-off valve from the pipe
