Plumbing Question...

[Catz]

I have a leak and want to replace the valve from the intake at the wall. I cannot get the compression nut off at all. I have 2 wrenches and have tried wd40. Other than buy a haxsaw...anything else I can do?

Thanx

dont forget to turn off the water before doing anything ;)


no idea on what to do...but...

is this for a kitchen sink, bathroom sink, toilet? outside tap? fridge? washer? dishwasher?

[Catz]

first thing I did. Yes, sorry, for toilet. I am leaving it tonight and do more tomorrow. May call a plumber to get it off. Thank you ")

Is the valve shot? are the lines metal? If so you can use a touch to heat it up, and get something better the WD40.

almost anything is better then that crap. try Pb Blaster, it's at Canadian tire.

Let's just say...I should not have used the hammer...the plumber should be here around supper. Oh ...and I will never try this again.

You could try a snipe for more leverage.

WD-40 is used for displacing water hence the name, water displacement, 40th attempt. Not good for lubrication.

Well...I am covered in poop, flooded my bathroom, apparently you have to turn the hot water tank off , as well, the neighbor ran over because he heard me yelling. Got the nut off, though....there are no threads on the other side...thus, I should have set up a camera to video tape it and made some money off of this....

Sounds like a s#*%y job.
