hi terry

thanks for the quick reply...so do you mean that if i need to put in another faucet line, i need to remove the whole shutoff valve + faucet line assembly?

is it not possible to just screw off the faucet line?

thanks

It's a crimped on fitting.

Good luck trying to remove that little bugger.

The back side of the shutoff is a push-on.
Your have to either destroy the shutoff to replace, or cut the pipe behind it.

And luckily you have a nice length of pipe to work with as well. If it was flush with the wall then it would be sharkbite time. lol Hey it's a DIY forum, right¿ :rolleyes:
