Plumbing advice neededHandle of a water line under sink broke offWater main was turned off for nowI just have a couple of adjustable wrenches and alligator clampsIs this thing removable or do I need to cut the pipe?Even if I were to cut the pipe I don't think thered be any room to put in a new valve
Try removing it first.Cut pipe remove escutcheon should be room for compression fitting. If you have to break out the drywall who cares you wont see it. Its a shithole anyway.Thank me later
>>2799387Is that a copper pipe coming out of the wall? That thing is covered in paint and crap but it could be soldered.
>>2799387looks soldered. heat it up to melt solder and pull the valve off. pull any water out of the pipe with a vaccum cleaner. dont cut it or youll have to bust out the wall. Dont listen to the first reply, you dont have enough pipe to work with to go cutting it.
>>2800795Don’t listen to this shit. OP
>>2799387just call a plumber instead of fucking around and creating a large repair job out of something a pro could have replaced in 15 minutes.
>>2801622Im literally a plumber you fucking retard.
>>2801679I know this is 4chan, but isn't it crazy how the professionals are usually the ones full of shit.
>>2801683how am i full of shit. its a soldered angle stop. simple job to replace but no he has to bust half the wall out because uhhh he just does ok.God I hate these faggot handymen who think theyre plumbers.
>>2801679Im Joe Biden cock breath watch your mouth boy
>>2799393OP clearly the professional has offered safe, timely advice that is feasible for a diy homeowner.Soldering however is not.
>>2801689Even funnier are plumbers that think they are anything besides over priced scumbags
Call a pipe fitter a plumber and the fight is on
>>2801692I hate this site.Go buy a sharkbite angle stop and push it into the pipe after cutting it.Are you happy now, was my advice timely and simple enough for the little man with a plumbing problem to comprehend
>>2801700Finally some decent advice instead of dick swinging by incompetent pros.
>>2801697Youd be pissed too if someone confused you with some retard who spends half his day knee deep in shit.Im only a plumber if it makes me sound more qualified to give advice for domestic shit.
>>2801703Same fagging by a fat greasy plumber
>>2801703No bozo first he suggested this>>2800795Then after being called out by a real pro he offered this>>2801700 because hevwas caught trying to fleece a homeowner. Thats why everyone hates plumbers
>>2801706Kys namefag. im trying to have an argument here
IM A PLUMBER GOD DAMMIT
>>2801708>>2801711All the adult boards should have thread specific user IDs like >>>/pol/. It's hard to have a decent shit-flinging cage match when you don't know who said what. And that KEK fag who at least identified himself is as confused as anyone about who said what.The only one I can keep track of (other than KEKfag) is that incompetent plumber.
>>2801731I'm not mad you stupid fuck the only one who got mad was that apprentice plumber
>>2799387cut the piperemove that flangeadd sharkbite fittingbe done before the fags are done arguing
>>2801838THATS WHA I SAID COCK SUCKER
it's like literally been a week an OP hasn't updatedbut yeah you have two optionsuse a torch and heat up the valve and sweat ona new oneor*what i would dosawzaw the copper behind the anglestop, clean the burrs and just force ona sharkbite anglestopthere's enough space and if not just take off the eschutheon and turn it around or leave it off. whatever who fucking looksbut it seems this is just weird bait since op hasn't responded
>>2801679my dad owns nintendo and he said you're full of shit
If it were me, you only wishI would heat the shut off until it slips off the pipe.Then push a shark bite shutoff onto the line.
>>2801735A remodeler not a plumber. I spend too much time fixing your over priced charade.
>>2801679>Im literally a plumberThen post your plumbing question on a Taiwanese yodeling enthusiasts board.
