I am working on a bath remodel and replaced two of my shutoff valves and respective chrome plated brass nipples to my sink. I used BrassCraft 1/4 turn valves, but subsequently read that these valves (from HD) have a reputation for failing on occasion.
I was able to get a few Dahl supplies, and will be replacing the valves on those new nipples, as well as an entirely new nipple/valve on my toilet supply.
My concern is removing the valves from the nipples for the vanity supply. What do you find is the best method to remove a valve from a nipple without turning the nipple from the female adapter in the wall? How should I clean up the threads from the teflon sealant I used before installing the new valves?
Sorry for so many questions, but really don't want to flood the entire living area of my slab home. Sometimes get too OCD about this stuff...
I would appreciate any advice. Thanks!
