Anne\\u2019s toilet won\\u2019t stop running even after she turns it off at the shutoff valve. What the heck is going on?\\xa0

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

We channel Magnum PI and do some detective work to figure out what could be the issue.\\xa0

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

Shutoff valves don\\u2019t last forever and I think this is Anne\\u2019s problem, but there could be another scenario.\\xa0

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

The tool for removing ferrules from around copper pipes is called the Pasco 4661 Compression Sleeve Puller.

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

Just google the Pasco 4661 Compression Sleeve Puller, for some reason Pasco doesn\\u2019t have a website.

\\n

Today\\u2019s Quick Tip is about how to use SharkBite push on plumbing fittings instead of soldering pipes. These little guys have been around for several years.\\xa0

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

If you\\u2019ve got a leak in your copper pipe you could cut out the bad section and use a SharkBite fitting to solve the problem.

\\n

One of my tutorials will show you just how easy it is to work with SharkBite fittings, check this out
