A PLUMBING PART YOU SHOULD NEVER BUY!! 

Brian, related to this, we installed a water filter at church for drinking water, and we used the included fittings for 1/4" quick connect. Unbeknownst to us is that those fittings can blow off and cause water damage. Our church kitchen was virtually destroyed, and we had to do mold remediation. The plumber replaced the plastic line with copper, and haven't had any problems since.

Builders love these because they can install them so fast.

Purchased a home 5 months ago, these were installed throughout the home. Just replaced all 13 of them. Can't take a chance on a flood. Did it all myself with your help Thanks!⛲

they're in EVERY mass produced home development in FL. I'd estimate their are millions.

Thanks for the very imformative video TFIG. We just had an experiance with one of these valves. We bought a new refrigerator after our 22 year old model died. The water line to the fridge uses this type of valve. We paid for delivery/removal/hookup of the new fridge. The delivery guys refused to hookup the new fridge because of the flowtite valve. They suggested we contact a plumber to replace the vavle with a threaded one and then they would come back out. A complete dissapointment with the whole situation !

Thanks for this info. I was looking at how to remove the tubing on one of these but now I realize it's not possible because it's one piece. So for now I'll use the present tubing but will look for a plumber to replace all of the shutoff valves on the sinks and toilets. Actually, my house was built in 2017 and the washing machine lines were leaking, the plumber said all of these houses have cheap plastic valves. He had to cut into the drywall to replace them but big props to this guy for replacing the drywall piece perfectly. It made mudding very simple.

Mine are 19 years old. And still working. I do plan on replacing though. Don’t want to push my luck.

Thanks for the tip brother. We don’t want to buy anything to make the plumber mad 😂 Loving the variety of content Brian keep up the great work cause this is your year brother

I have these all over my home that was built in 2013. After 11 yrs they’re now starting to pop out all over the house so I will be replacing all of them soon. Glad I saw this video so I already ordered a few braided ones to replace them all over the house.

Love how the design means when you're trying to shut it off you're also pulling the joint apart

Thank you for your post. I have these installed throughout my home the builder put in 3years ago and a few weeks back one leaked at the crimp causing major damage to my home. I'm wondering if others have had this problem. Yes you are correct that this is "A PLUMBING PART YOU SHOULD NEVER BUY!!! "

Thanks fix it guy, I was just about to replace with the same thing. I will upgrade to the proper thing thanks to you.

These were installed on the house I recently bought. Man, I was confused when I had to interact with one of these but this sounds like I should replace all of my valve shutoffs when the traditional ones.

Thanks for the info, I would have never known. Thanks for learning me something. : )

great info! thanks for the video!

Thanks for sharing! Was very helpful! Save me time and money!Thanks for sharing! was very helpful! Save me time and money!

As always. Great advice

Hey thanks for the great information I had never seen anything like that before and I definitely wouldn’t use it.👍

I highly Agree!

Been struggling to take one off the past couple days. I do the whole CCW/pull method and it won't budge. Doesn't help that it's in a cramped area too.

Unfortunately it is a cheap plastic world that we are in right now. Sometimes we all learn the hard way that quick and easy is not always the best way to do things. Thanks for educating us about these inferior products Brain.

I have them in both of my bathrooms the valve line is coming from the floor to the tank and I'm having to change it out in 1 of my bathrooms, so I'm trying to do it my self I basically no what to do but I jus needed to see some one do it , so thank u so much for this video 😊

makes sense to me... thanks for the heads up... i've never seen those, but would probably not bought those anyway...

My builder did flowtite everywhere (15 connections) and I plan to replace them. 1. Do you know how solid the white line is on the flowtite one piece connector? Ours is rubbing against something under the sink and has a little indentation on it. I plan to replace that one first, but just wanted your opinions on how solid that white line is on the flowtite? Thanks

My idiot apartment complex uses these. My toilets been running incessantly for weeks and I’m like how do I turn the water OFF?!

Thanks for sharing your knowledge 😊 new subscriber. Hope your channel becomes successful

My house built 2015 has these. Nice thing is that they scratch and mar your copper stub outs. Then i wonder why my brass shutoffs keep leaking. Next time I'll just cut it off and have a shorter stub out.

I can't install my new faucet because these things... I hate flowtite! Thanks for the video

I hate those things, they are a pain to service, There is no need to have the two parts built together. Thanks for teaching people about the issues with these.

15K subs dood check that out! Ive been working a lot and havent been able to keep up but i had to stop by. Almost to 20k!! Keep goin

I got an estimate to replace 13 of these things. The plumber wanted $2,300 to replace them from a pex B system.

Replacing Flowturds this weekend, which is how I found your video. Can confirm, they are doggy poo.

It funny you say this..I just bought a new single family home and they installed this on the kitchen sink.

I bought a new rv trailer last year & this is installed on my toilet.I had never seen one before.I immediately told myself next year it’s getting replaced.I do believe the hose is the same size as well.Can you make a quick video on how to replace these & what new angle stop I should replace it with & a new hose.Thanks.

I approve this message, flowtight valves are the worst design ever, builders buy these in bulk because they're cheap and fast to install, complete trash!

Man this is what I'm having to replace for 2 sinks in math bath along with toilet, guest bath sink along with toilet, and kitchen sink. It does cause a lot of damage to the homeowner of not caught in time. Thanks for the info!

Thank you so much! Too bad that I have such Flowtite valve shutoff combos and it had cause flloding in my home!

I have these in my new build home and it caused water damage to my floating floors in my home 😟

I just bought the house and I crazy with them

I just had to replace less than 10 year old fridge that had compressor fail. Then I find that I can not put a new water line to icemaker because this cheap crimped fitting is there. Now I have another repair because of cheap parts.

I removed three of these used for my toilets. Now I'm halfway through removing Qest plastic shut off valves. They're also very terrible.

Okay my house has this junk. How do I remove with out damage to the pex? The contractor did not leave me hardly any pipe stubbed out of the wall so cutting off the end is not an option.

Those things have the best warranty in the business. 10 years parts and labor! I have seen them hold over 2000 psi. BTW they were out before sharkbite.

What do you recommend my valves are frozen because of hard water

My whole place I rent have these at every faucet I'm not having a leak issue at the valve their itself my problem is after a year of living here I'm having both the hot and cold leak from the little fitting band at the top of the hose where it screws onto the faucet I have always been someone who can repair this stuff myself I have never seen this type of valve before I think this is going to be the one and only time that I actually let the maintenance guy into my house unless someone can tell me is there a way that I can repair this line without even touching this flow tite valve and I'm afraid I already know the answer because it looks like it's all one piece feeling so disgruntled and discouraged right now

These things are total garbage, what a rip off! Thank you for the post!

Are you able to disconnect the hose from the cheap flowtite valve ??

I purchased a house that had these on every fixture in the house. Removing them is an outright nightmare.

I’m literally sitting in front of my toilet with one of these installed. I just needed to replace the supply line and just figured out it’s all one piece. So back to Lowe’s I go to buy a new valve. 😭

These are under my kitchen sink. I hate them! My hot water flow hardly comes out! Maintenance guy just said push it in. I can hardly get it to move!

This is concerning. I have these in my house and the one under the kitchen sink is leaking. Not sure how I should go about that.

Flow-tight valves are criminal. I have them all over my house. Now, I need to install a new sink and my bathroom. So, I'm forced to remove this valve and install a regular valve.

I find those shut off valves in Maronda, Ryan,Wayne homes all the time, I get called when they blow apart. Not sure why people continue to buy those 3 homes when they are made cheap and plumbing falls apart in 1 year

This is the second one for the basement bat. ru-vid.comUgkxOuLt8IL_GxhhaK8DBuKEL-zV0UJVpWZn , works great

They are in my daughter's house and they keep turning the water off on its own, so we are going to have to change these asap

saw a high-end house with this shit installed everywhere. It's disgusting how these people cut corners.

Just spent 3 hours removing one of this! Someone installed it to vertical pipes!😢

I'm gonna put this in my NEVER buy cart ... Mean while I have 6 or 8 of them .... Lol I'm just giving you a hard time .. yeah them look cheesey at best

The interal pointed piece with the O'ring broke off and plugged a customers water pipeline. Verify expensive. Don't use.

My house has these installed :( they haven’t failed but ugh

I don't want to spoil the fun, but I have these Flowtite valves in my home and I have never had an issue over 20 years with them. I'm not trying to say they are great, but just telling you my situation. The problem is if you live in a place that has a lot calcium in the water like Florida, that can make it so you can't pull it to shut off the water.

They are horrible couldn’t figure out why I had no water going into dishwasher, valve popped and no water. Valve was in bathroom. Yikes

I’m going to replace all of them in my house.

My girlfriend knows to use two hands while pulling or pushing

Tell this to home builders 😒

Our new home in an upscale neighborhood put this garbage in. Hate them!

Hate those things. Hard to operate in tight area.

🤦🏽‍♂️ all my faucets

@5:05 That's user error and has nothing to do with product design when installing plumber fails follow simple instructions.

Those are complete and total garbage, my tightwad builder used this garbage. If the good ones cost enough to make or break the builder, maybe he shouldn't be a builder. The good ones are not that expensive!

Cracker jack prize quality.

Well shit!

Our house is over 25 years old with ACCOR valves on everything....never had leaks or problems so maybe it was a poor install or an idiot plumber who can't turn a wrench ...just saying. Can't say these are junk when they have lasted for this long my friend.... sorry....maybe people are screwing around with these valves causing failure.... Our pipes are the PVC not copper. For copper I would definitely use solvent angle stops but, again, these DO WORK . If you put it on wrong that's the fault of the person NOT valve....you can also put valves on copper/pvc incorrectly if you don't use inserts in the PVC or don't use the primer & cement correctly.....you wouldn't say the valves stink.... it's the fault of the installer. Again....25 years is a pretty good record in our case and removing them is easy.... I see videos where they didn't cut the line before turning counter clockwise which tells me they didn't read the instructions....makes me wonder if these people ever read directions on any product before attempting install....

man nothing wrong with those.. lived in a house 30 years no issues

Well unfortunately these were installed in my home WORSE DESIGN EVER !!!

My brand new Home the builder Taylor Morrison Builder has these installed on our toilets. SMH.
