Replace low point valves

[Bobonthemove]

I need to replace my leaking (won't shut off) low point valves. I don't know how they are attached to the Pex pipe or how to remove them. Are they push-on's like sharkbite or is this a type of barb fitting. It's a pretty cramped space leaving little room for a crimp tool, so I thought I might install a sharkbite valve.

Have you tried replacing the O-rings in the valve? I replaced one of my valves before I knew I could replace O-rings, and I ended up fixing a couple other connections that I leaned on when using crimp tool.
The O-rings are #6 and #8 . Those took 30 seconds to swap, solved the problem.

This!!

I had to do the same thing for both my low point valves this year. Replacing the O-rings is very easy and should solve the problem, much easier than trying to replace the valves.

Thanks. I'm sure glad I asked.

Wow, they come apart. Thanks for the advice. Now I even know the O-ring size, too.
