What happens here

Once all valve components are removed, clean the exposed copper pipe. Use an emery cloth to smooth out any minor imperfections or scratches left on the pipe. Follow up with a fitting brush to thoroughly clean the inside and outside surfaces of the pipe, ensuring it's free of debris and ready for the new fitting. This preparation is crucial for a secure and leak-free connection, especially for soldered or compression fittings.

Goal: Prepare the copper pipe for a new valve installation
