Porn or murder

that's really insulting to thousands of professionals who truly care about their work and the customers they serve.

Won't he need a torch to melt the solder that is holding the old stop in place? Or am I imagining the glob of solder I think I see on the old stop in the pic?

Call Bill Cosby -- he knows quite a bit about pipes, plumbing, hose (did I spell that right?), and holes. Plus you'd get a free dose of drugs and I'm sure you'll enjoy his type of rape more than the kind you'd get from a regular ol' plumber.

Ok, so I went to Home Depot today and got the valves for each sink...and on the way home heard a commercial for a plumber and decided to ask my neighbor for help. I'll buy him beer, and all will win.

I think the prospect of damaging the pipe from the wall was too much for me, honestly.

How is a joke insulting..if they get upset about that they need to take off their dresses and get back to work over pricing their customers they care so deeply about

You forgot dentists. Biggest rapists of all.

No...that's just crud. (At least I think so....I've seen a lot of crud LOL)

The old angle stop is threaded into the nut that's closest to the wall.

The nut is held on by a compression ring called a ferrule...

Pulling the ring&nut off without messing up the pipe can be a pain...but its superior to cutting it off...

And if you know how , and have the right puller...its super easy usually.

Besides , you need to pull the valve off anyway.

If you're really curious you can pull the compression nut & scussion off .

If it's a pin hole leak you should be able to hear it.....

I highly doubt it's a leak. Just change the angle stop to a 3/8 comp., and get a new 3/8 x 1/2 supply line.

Done

Are you trying to say escutcheon?
