Compression Fittings

Once you slip the compression ring over the pipe and tighten the valve, the compression ring is solidly attached to the copper pipe.

When replacing the valve subsequently I assume it is common practice to just use the old compression ring and nut. That's what I have done in the past.

I was wondering if there is some magical way to remove an old compression ring and nut other than cutting off that section of pipe?

Compression Fittings

When I have a leaky valve I have been just replacing the valve and using the old compression ring and nut. In all cases the nuts and rings looked good and I had no leaks after reuse.

It looks like we have people doing it both ways, is it correct to think that if the compression ring does not leak after reassembly it will be fine if not the only route is to try to cut the ring with a Dremel cut off saw or cut off the pipe?

I thought cutting the ring with a Dremel cutoff would surely result in a leaky compression seal so I have never done that, has any one done that?

A nice thing about the Shark Bite fittings is they are easy to take apart for making plumbing repairs and replacements without the problems being discussed here concerning compression fittings.

LB,

I looked at the tools needed to take them apart and it looked like this type of connection is best used where you have good access to fiddle with it. I wonder how the plastic parts hold up as well.
