The Plumber's Apprentice on Nostr: Time to remove a saddle valve that was originally an old ice maker line. ...

Time to remove a saddle valve that was originally an old ice maker line.


Make sure to turn off the water and have a bucket to catch what's left of the water in the line.


Now, it's time to cut the pipe right along the hole that was punctured into the water line from the saddle valve and clean the copper pipe with emory paper.


Then use flux paste to prepare the pipe and coupling that will be used to connected the now cut pipe.


All that's left to do is solder the pipe and coupling together! Time to turn the water on to check for leaks...


No leaks! Not bad for an apprentice. 😃
