Lea, you made me tear up today after watching this video. I changed 5 bathroom under-sink valves and took you with me to watch it over to make sure to turn the nut in the right direction. I'm a 63 year old Grandma. My husband wanted to call a plumber. He was panicked at Lowe's because he would never attempt it. 30 year old valve were leaking. I used a ferrule removal tool to get the brass compression thingies off. I'm so thankful for you! Thank you! ❤ I'm putting in two new faucets on Wednesday. I'll be looking for your video of this. 👍

When I went down this random KZread rabbit hole at 4 AM I would never have guessed I'd find such genuine enthusiasm. I'm afraid your powers are too strong. I fear you've motivated me to do some DIY... after a bit of shut-eye, of course. Keep up the great work!

Did you use that pipe cutter tool too?

On a compression fitting: after removing the valve from the pipe, before you cut the pipe- apply a little pipe dope to the old brass ferrule... then slide the new valve in place and tighten the old compression nut to the new valve. Normally, it will seal up nicely without leaking. Once in a while it may not work, and then you can always cut and apply a new ferrule. This has saved me some 'Short Pipe Headaches" in the past! Great video! Thank you!

Thank you Jane. I am 74 years young, female and I followed your tutorial. I was able to find the tool to remove the compression nut and sleeve and put on new 1/4 “ shut off valve. No leaks. Perfection! Love your belief in us.

I watched 3 other videos before coming upon yours. Yours was the simplest and most well shot video. Thank you

Leah does these at her own speed to teach you as much as you'll need to know. I think some of the others assume more knowledge on the part of the DIYer, which can cause problems for first-timers. One thing we've all discovered over time is that just because you have the tools needed is no reason to expect success. You've got to know what you're doing going in, and have the knowledge to get yourself out of a problem (a "Plan B") in case things go astray.

Thank you for this video. I had a leaky compression shut off valve that needed to be replaced. I never did this & I honestly was nervous about if I should. This video was so informative from the tools needed to the end of the job. I followed step by step & successfully replaced my first shut of valve. You guys are amazing.

Jane, I love your videos so much. I'm an almost 50 year old woman who has a husband that knows less about DIY projects than I do - so I prefer to give things a try, myself. I just discovered that my dishwasher was connected to the cold water line for the past five years, and that the dishes must have been coming out clean because of the machine heating the water. But now they're coming out full of food and soap, and the water felt ice cold. Sure enough, when I checked under the sink, I saw the mistake. Now I'm trying to switch it, but the hot water shut off valve is soooo STUCK, I can't believe it! It won't budge at all, even after being oiled. And it's not soldered, either. I'm going to follow what you taught me in this video, and cut it. Thanks so much for helping people like me! We really love you for it!!!

This morning I was going to call a plumber. I found your video through Google and this afternoon, I have replaced that compression fitting, water supply line, and have a happy toilet again! :) Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! :) Can't wait to check out your other videos.

Not only are your videos very informative and simple to follow, you also have a very positive attitude which is comforting. I was terrified of plumbing, but I was able to shut off the water main (hot and cold), cut off the old valves, installed new valves with compression fittings, turned the main supply lines back on, and no leaks!

Awesome job explaining, Leah! You are an amazing teacher. You have a way of taking the intimidation out of your projects. Don't ever stop!

Love you leah.... you install confidence as you work. You relieve so much anxiety by repeating how this is something “you CAN do”. Such a positive attitude, all around a very special lady. Thanks for this and all the knowledge you’ve givin me over the years

I just subscribed. Over the years I have looked up little things I’ve needed to learn for maintenance work that I do or for little projects to help my mother in law... and I’ve always run into your videos. They end up being the best ones. You really are gifted; first, because you know what you’re doing and second, because you do such an awesome job at encouraging the viewers and helping them not be afraid of taking on these projects. Plus... your voice as you explain each step... is so reassuring. I’m about to replace the kitchen faucet shut off valves for a friend today and I’m not experienced with soldering. Your video just helped me figure out how to do it. Thanks!

I've been doing DIY repairs and upgrades for several decades now, and I recently found Leah and she has taught me new techniques. I have replaced several shut-off valves in my time, and everything Leah says is accurate, but there are "gotchas" that you can run into that I would hope Leah would cover. First, sometimes the old compression collar will not just slip off. How to remove it without damaging the pipe is tricky. I've used oil and pliers to work it loose. One must also be careful when tightening the valve. I've had them seep slowly, developing drops over several hours. If you overtighten the valve you can damage the pipe and then you have to go the step of extending the pipe as Leah mentioned. Learned that the hard way. If you have any advanced insights to share, Leah, for those more advanced difficult situations, it would be greatly appreciated!

Leah, Thank You. Installation Contractor wouldn't install my new Dishwasher because the hot water value would not close even though I told him we turn off at the water heater and the main inlet valve. He didn't like that idea and he left. Went to Ace Hardware, found the 1/4 turn valve and was able to replace myself based on your video. I also went ahead and Installed the Dishwasher myself. Calling GE tomorrow to get my installation money back.

I am about to replace the shut off valves under the sink in my basement bathroom. I am glad that I can remove the soldered valves and replace them with compression valves! (even though I know how to solder... thank you to my father who taught me when I was young) Leah, you have seen me through more plumbing projects than you can imagine! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!

Thank you, Leah! You are the best! You’re so knowledgeable and such a great coach. I thought I had messed something up during my replacement. I found your video and you walked me through it, calmed my nerves and helped me get it done.

Great video, clear tips, lots of confidence. You are such a natural on camera. Thank you so much for the excellent instructions!

Leah - Thank you for this video. Had a valve stuck open and soldered on. Bought a small pipe cutter and replaced with quarter turn compression valve. Easy, easy, easy.

I appreciate so much your videos. I have been leery of trying any plumbing needs but you have made me believe I can do this. Today I'm replacing my old wax toilet seal with a fluidmaster no wax seal. While I have the toilet away from the wall, I am replacing the valve. Finally, I am attaching a simple bidet after getting the toilet back in place. Hopefully I won't over tighten stuff or not tighten stuff tight enough. I think I can do this, because of what you have shown me...thank you for helping me believe I can accomplish something I didn't see in myself.

Welcome to the wonderful world of See Jane Drill. This woman is a Godsend!

This video was exactly what I needed to see in my hour of weakness. After a few hour kitchen sink replacement turned into a weekend + Monday night ordeal, I was at the end of my rope and didn't know what to do. This was the missing piece for me that helped me connect the dots to get my faucet installed properly with the correct valves to 3/8" compression connections to the faucet. Thank you for your encouragement and knowledge transfer!

A tip for the new fitting is to put some tape on the wrenches you're using to prevent scratching the pretty finish on them. (And check it for leaks about every 6 hours for a few days as the normal water pressure in your house will rise and fall during the day and night.)

A big thank you, Leah!! I've now installed two of these. Using the ferrule puller, I've done a better job than the handyman I used to hire, who always kept the old nut and ferrule on there and used lots of teflon tape to control leaks. It took much longer to do it that way, with a lot of tightening and checking back and forth. The hard part was getting off the old overtightened nut. I recently heard that a ferrule should only be used once, then replaced. I encourage everyone to do this.

Leah, you did it for me again. It was a little more complicated than I expected. I made a trip to the hardware store for a compression ring remover ($17). After that, easy peasy. The hardest part was getting onto the floor and working in odd positions. You saved me a bundle with your sage advice, like not tightening it down too much! Thank you so much.

Thanks, Leah! I was looking for a way to just slightly turn my water supply because the new toilet we put in was longer than the previous one and prevented me from turning on the water. Your explanation of the compression fitting turning while holding on to the body helped immensely. We can now flush successfully!!

+Diane Franklin Hi Diane, glad you found us, and thanks for commenting!

So I've done some minor DIY repairs but never this. I had a leaking sink faucet and was unable to replace due to stuck, corroded shut off valves from last millennium. Of course, they were soldered on type. So thanks to this guide, I bought pipe cutters and was able to take off one valve cleanly. The next valve I was unable to fit the pipe cutter due to a lump of solder on the bottom of the pipe, there wasn't enough space to fit around so I had no way to take that valve off. I almost felt like giving up, but this video gave me inspiration, "it's so easy" you kept saying. So I searched around online, the other way to cut a copper pipe is with a "mini" hacksaw, which I went and bought and it takes a lot longer and more effort to saw through the copper, but I did it. I then installed the shiny new compression fitting, quarter-turn angled stop valves and... it ... just worked! Now I have a shiny new bathroom faucet with working shutoff valves. Everyone in my family is happy and we saved hundreds of dollars on a plumber. Thank you Leah and See Jane Drill for inspiring me to be able to do this!

I love watching your videos!! I live aprox 1000 miles from my parents, who taught me most of my home improvements knowledge. When I get stuck, I search through your videos, and sure enough, you have got exactly what I need.

Thanks for this video, Leah! I found this video _after_ we'd struggled through a repair/ replacement water valve job, where we had to work in a very tight spot in the small gap between a tub and a toilet - _without a PIPE WRENCH! 😬 😢 (We also turned the wrong way and tightened the nut before loosening it the other way. We can laugh about it, now.) Anyway, two tips set this video apart from the others we'd seen. The first was the one about draining the water from pipes after shutting the main valve, and the second was the TOOL DISPLAY. Spring for the right tools, folks, because the right tools really make a job go better. My teenager and I got this job done easily, and we now have the confidence and the right tools for the next job - replacing the toilet tank parts. Thanks! 😁

Leah is an awesome instructor. I consult her videos before all my DIY projects. Her videos aren’t just about plumbing projects. I suggest you subscribe to her channel and look at her other videos. Thanks again Leah!

Leah, I had to use both of these styles of installation today (cut/no cut). It went well (it wasn't tight enough first try-lack of tightening) and I want you to know you made it possible. I'm terrified by pressured water, and you gave me the power to do it. I'm sincere and I thank you.

Leah is *awesome*! She absolutely needs her own show!

Thank you for not playing music in your tutorials, as is the case with so much else on KZread. Without music in the background, I am better able to give your instruction my full attention, which is exactly what I need. Thanks again.

Awesome, simple straight forward instructions with good video. Just put in sinks, replaced all the valves because they were older, smaller size. No problems thanks to my great teacher.

First time seeing this speaker/educator...I love her. I recommend this to anyone but especially for first time home owners. Also, what a great motivational woman to show other women that yes, it's not scary and we can do it ourselves. Can't wait to see what else she offers.

Thanks also for the tip on the quarter turn valve and draining the cold from the lowest outlet; two things that would not have entered my mind. I just need to pick up a wrench and the valve.

Ever since we moved into this house the downstairs toilet has been slow fill then after we had the outside pipes replaced it got very slow fill (5 minutes). Today I finally got around to fixing it. Turned off the water, removed the toilet tank and hose (tight spot), removed the old compression valve from half inch copper pipe. I worked the compression sleeve off by hand with the nut behind it, it came off pretty easy. Then had a friend come over, I could see the dirt plug in the pipe. He went down in the basement and turned on the water while I held a bucket over the pipe. It trickled for a second then blasted out. Yelled to turn off the water, bucket almost filled. Installed the new compression quarter turn valve, reinstalled the toilet tank with new bolts and gasket, reconnected and turn on the valve...it filled in one minute, how sweet it is!

Thank you, thank you THANK YOU!!! This video saved me on a Saturday night when the old multi turn valve handle broke and started pouring water into my bathroom. And you weren't joking, it ended up being a really easy task and a pipe wrench was a life saver.

+Blackie Kane you're welcome, Blackie, and thanks!

This was a fantastic video for someone who has never removed a water shut off valve. I thought I had stripped the copper pipe when I tried to remove the old one and it started to leak like crazy. Thanks for explaining that copper pipe uses a compression fitting! I can turn the water on in my house again with confidence that the connection is secure!

1st time I've come across this Lady. 10/10 tutorial that was. So well presented, detailed and described in a calm pace. Much love and respect from the UK 👌

That was a nice smooth instructional video of great quality. You are good!

Excellent video, couldn't have done it any better! Thanks a lot!!

Justin Ripps you're very welcome, Justin!!

Leah, you’re a great teacher. I always know what to do when I watch your videos. You make my DIY home repair so much more gratifying. Thank you!!!

I love Leah, I'm a Purple Heart Combat Marine Corps Veteran and I have a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) with cognitive function Involvement so I can get confused rather quickly and Leah explains things really well and I really appreciate it. Leah..I love you and thank you so very much.
