Remove drainage valve?

[DeanRIowa]

How do I remove this fresh water drainage valve to install a new one. I do not understand how to remove the metal band holding it in place, as I do not see how to loosen it.

Note: I had to add the image as a link as the picture would not display as embedded image.

Just buy a cheap pex cutter. You will need it again down the road anyway. Then just replace it with a quick connect PEX valve that requires no tools.

That's PEX pipe -- my preference is the copper crimped connector used in residential PEX work, but flare-it's do work as well. Not sure that a hose clamp is going to be able to make a difference on semi-rigid pipe.

Or use a small stainless hose clamp.

That style clamp can be popped off with a screwdriver- the band overlaps itself and is held by nubs sticking up, or just cut that loop with dykes.
You can buy the tool to replace, or replace with a shark bite or flairit valve. Google Oetiker clamps for more info.

That is a 1 time clamp.....use a side cutters to cut it off, then get a new flair-it valve w/ clamps on the valve no tools

Hacksaw. Or cut the tube shorter.
