The picture you see is shooting thru a small access hole, * *To get in

with soldering torch , cutting tools, etc is going to take major work.
I
read that these things can be rebuilt without removing the body.

make the hole bigger, use a couple shark bite connectors, you're done in
15 minutes or less. *And no broken off screws which lead to replacing it
anyway and being without water.

"Sounds like you have all the answers."

I don't know if he has *all* the answers, but he sure has this one.

Before I knew about SharkBites I made a big hole in my basement
bathroom ceiling and sweated a new regulator in. Sure wish I knew
about SharkBites back them.

SharkBites are *sweet*, especially for cramped spots and quick fixes.

A few weekends ago I turned off the water, cut the pipe going to a
hose bib, slapped on a SharkBite cap and had the water back on before
the commercial was over.

I was back in the shop watching the ball game without missing a pitch.- Hide quoted text -

P.S. Forgot to mention that SharkBites let you work on pipes that have
water in them, something that makes sweating a bit troublesome.

I once tried to sweat a cap onto a pipe that had some water in it. The
steam built up and shot it across the basement.
