Attachment 47228How do I replace a nylon angle shut off valve. Are they threaded on the pipe or they just push on.

Thanks,
Riley

They come threaded, compression and push to fit.
If you have threaded you should be able to see threads on pipe. If compression fit you should see compression nut. Puts fit you should see the nonmetallic locking mechanism.
Most common is compression fit.

I have a nylon angle shutoff valve that needs to be replaced. I have attached a picture of the valve.

If it looks like a nut, use a wrench, if it's round, then push or pull it. (the fitting NOT the line going into it)

That is a push fit but I'm not sure how to remove it. Looks like a Flow-tite. See this web site.

I agree with Harold. It appears to be a "push-in" valve. There should be a small ring from behind where valve sits on the pipe. Close water to the house first - then push that ring inward while pulling on the valve towards you. It may take some effort, but eventually it should let go.
