Need plumbing push on-off supply valve help
http://s1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb360/shelf1/
The above pix shows a similar water supply valve under my kitchen sink, which driips near the crimp. I would like to replace the hose and crimp: is there a way to do this? Do I have to replace the entire valve assembly with hose by cutting the supply pipe closer to the wall? Can it be recrimped? Assistance requested and appreciated. tia |

If so, first thing I'd try is to get a stainless steel hose clamp, take off the old clamp, and replace it. That might be all that is needed. |

The same valve is on the kitchen water inlets, all bathroom sinks, and toile, throughout the house. It is leaking at the end of the crimp. The old clamp will not come off! Sumter County, FL: almost all homes have this same arrangement. |

Shark bite and other brands have a way to remove a fitting that didn't grab correctly. See if this brand looks right. There is a tool for removing shown when you click on demounting: http://hep2o.wavin.com/Hep2o/Installation.html It may be worth contacting a local plumber to ask what brand fittings are used and where they buy them. -- ___________________________________ Keep the whole world singing . . .

The literature does say that it can be removed by turning in counterclockwise. Labor and material guaranteed for 10 years. Shelly should probably contact the company, she may have a plumber coming for free. May well be worth looking into. -- ___________________________________ Keep the whole world singing . . . Dan G |

If that is the correct valve that you have, just replace it with a Sharkbite angle stop 1/4 turn valve. http://www.sharkbite.com/usa/en/product/push-fit-products/supply-stops-a-fittings Home Depot carries them. They don't work on PVC though. |

Assistance requested and appreciated. tia Looks like this is the valve: http://www.accortechnology.com/flowtite.html It appears that the type of valve and supply hose that you have is a single unit, and the supply hose (with the crimp) is factory installed. That means that you cannot take off the hose or crimped part where you said it is leaking. I found this link with some info on what you have: http://www.accortechnology.com/4ALLSpec_PVC.pdf The valve itself is supposed to be removable (the supply hose would come off with the valve). Someone here wrote that the valve can be removed by turning it counterclockwise. I have not found that anywhere, but maybe that is correct. Since you said that other homes in your area have the same thing, maybe they sell them in plumbing supply places or hardware stores in your area. You could also try calling the manufacturer to find out where you can buy them in your area. And, the manufacturer should be able to tell you how to release and remove the valve (and hose assembly) from the CPVC pipe. If you shut off the water supply, then take the supply hose off where it connects to the sink, and then can remove the valve, you can bring the whole thing with you to buy a replacement assembly. Or, if you cannot get the valve off (or can't find anywhere that tells you how to get it off), maybe you could just use a hacksaw or whatever to cut the CPVC pipe right below the valve and get the whole assembly off that way. And, if you cannot find a regular replacement for the whole assembly, just bring it all with you to a Home Depot, Lowes, a hardware store, or whatever and they'll be able to hook you up with what you need to do the replacement with more standard materials. They'll sell you a valve and a separate supply hose that screws onto the valve. You can either glue the new valve on to the remaining piece of CPVC pipe, or they may have a valve or adapter etc. that uses a push-on type of technology. Good luck. |

Here's a link that shows how to contact the manufacturer: http://www.accortechnology.com/contactUs.html . I think they will be bale to tell you how to get the old one off, where to get a new one, and as someone else suggested, they may even be able to send a new one to you (maybe for free, maybe not). |

He should decide if the removal tool is worth the cost. And check to see if all the installed valves have clearance for the disengager. I can see where that could be a problem if the installer didn't account for that. Can't say whether that valve setup is a good idea. I have clip disengage tools for GM fuel injection lines, and those lines don't leak, and new clips are cheap if you break one. But as you say, he has the option of going different ways. Depends on cost/hassle factor. --Vic |

Assistance requested and appreciated. tia The valve and supply line is a single unit. The text below is from http://www.floorstransformed.com/upl...lve-18548.html 1. Shut off your house water at the mainline. 2. Disconnect the nut end of the connector first. This is the chrome nut that attaches to the faucet (me = or toilet tank). It should only be hand tight, but some installers will wrench them on. A 6 or 8 inch adjustable wrench will work fine. For the toilet it's the large white plastic nut connected to the toilet tank. 3. Rotate the valve on the pipe counter-clockwise with a slight pull while turning. 4. After about 6 or 8 twists, the valve should turn itself completely off of the pipe. 5. When the valve is removed, you'll see about a half inch of the pipe tip will have these spiral scars. They look almost like a fine pipe thread. They're not. They're caused by the gripping teeth inside the valve when the valve is rotated. This is the important part. When you go to re-install your valves (they are re-usable if there is no damage to the O-ring inside), cut-away the scarred portion of the pipe. If you can't, then just smooth the pipe surface with emery cloth or a fine sand paper before re-installing your valve. 6. Push the valve back onto the pipe with a slight turn of the wrist a full 1 and one-quarter inches. It works well to measure and mark the pipe. Try and avoid "screwing" the valve onto the pipe. Just push it on with a slight turn of the wrist to the 1-1/4" mark. -- Bill In Hamptonburgh, NY In the original Orange County. Est. 1683 To email, remove the double zeroes after @ |

Need plumbing push on-off supply valve help
'Twas the night before the non denominational politicaly correct non specific winter holiday', when all through the house, Not a creature was stirring, not even a disease ridden rodent; The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, In hopes that a seasonal character soon would be there; The children were nestled all snug in their non lead base painted beds, While visions of sugarfree non fat-plums danced in their heads; And mamma in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap, Had just settled down for a long winter's nap, When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, I sprang from the bed to see who was violating the 10PM noise ordinance. Away to the window I flew like a flash, Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash. The moon on the crest of the new-fallen snow Gave the luster of mid-day to objects below, When, what to my wondering eyes should appear, But a non polluting green vehicle, and eight size challenged reindeer, With a little old driver, so lively and quick, I knew in a moment it must be the seasonal character. More rapid than eagles his coursers they came, And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name: "Now, DASHER! now, DANCER! now, PRANCER and VIXEN! On, COMET! on CUPID! on, DONDER and BLITZEN! To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall! Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!" "As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly, When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky, So up to the house-top the coursers they flew, With the sleigh full of toys, and the seasonal character too. And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof The prancing and pawing of each little hoof. As I drew in my hand, and was turning around, Down the chimney the seasonal character came with a bound. He was dressed all in faux fur, from his head to his foot, And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot; A bundle of toys he had flung on his back, and he looked like a door to door salesman just opening his pack. His eyes -- how they twinkled! his dimples how merry! His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry! His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow, And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow; The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth, And no smoke from it did flow due to nonsmoking ordinances; He had a broad face and a little round belly, That shook, when he laughed like a bowl full of jelly. He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf, And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself; A wink of his eye and a twist of his head, Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread; He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work, And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk, Laying his finger aside of his nose, And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose; He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle, And away they all flew like the down of a thistle. But I heard him exclaim, as he drove out of sight, "HAPPY nondenominational politically correct nonspecific winter holiday TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOOD-NIGHT." WHAT KIND OF COMMIE CRAP IS THIS???? We all Know its Christmas for Christ sake! and everyone knows its Santa So lets cut the bull and say Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!!! "Oren" wrote in message ...

I will remove the old one by twisting ccw a quarter turn and pulling it off. I will sand down any 'spiral marks' on the cpvc pipe I will replace by pushing on and turning cw until it reaches a predetermined distance. Accortechnology has been extremely cooperative thus far. |
