My toilet shutoff leaks at the connection of the shutoff and the pipe coming from the wall. Looks as though there's quite a bit of corosion, a local hardware guy recommended some epoxy rather than trying to replace the valve as he thought the pipe might come apart on me when attempting to switch valves.
Well, the stuff didn't work. Still leaks. Problem is I have ceramic tile on the wall, so a torch is not an option.
I'm curious if I'd be able to cut the pipe shortly after it comes out of the wall, install a compression fitting to join another small piece of pipe that would then connect to a new valve? Have never used a compression fitting before.
Thanks!
