I have this valve, which doesn't leak unless I try to close it. I would like to replace it.
So, I asked the guy at the local hardware store and he told me that I would need an adapter to go from Male Pipe to compression and he gave me these two things. BOTH are labeled 1/2" compression, but there must have been a mix up at the factory because the 1/2 compression steel valve is clearly bigger than the 1/2 inch compression brass adapter. Is there an easier way to do this? Which one is actually the 1/2 inch compression fitting??
