This valve replacement was fun. It was supposed to just be one valve, but when I cut between the fittings, I realized it was schedule 20 pipe and over the years all the pressure has caused it to bulge.And the new fittings wouldn't fit on it. So had to remove the step and the board off of the deck.So we can reach the pipe and connect to it under there. Since I had to cut both valves out, I figured I'd put two new valves in instead of putting back the old one. Happy to have gotten it done and working nicely.
