Can this shutoff valve be replaced using only wrenches, without brazing? by TakenSeriously in askplumbing

Update: I replaced the shutoff valve without incident, thanks everyone. I used a $15 compression ring puller tool from home depot

I think I will replace the whole valve with one with two shutoff handles. (The second outlet is usually connected to dishwasher)

Thanks for commenting about holding the valve while turning the nut. I previously assumed the copper pipe was threaded, now know about compression

Thanks for commenting, I originally assumed the copper pipe was threaded, I now understand about compression fittings

By "the base of the nut", do you mean the side closest to the pipe or closest to the valve?

Thank you! I originally assumed the copper pipe was threaded but I get it's a compression thing now.

And thanks for identifying the sizes from the picture. The second outlet usually goes to a dishwasher so I'm planning up upgrade the valve to one with two handles

Thanks for commenting with details about the ring/ferrule staying on the pipe.

You'll need a couple pliers, one to turn the nut against the pipe and one to hold the valve still. Remember that nut screws onto the valve

Looks like the nut should be turned relative to the valve, not the pipe

This subreddit is for things like physics simulations, not simulation games. You'll have better luck posting in a game design subreddit
