Wants to change or re-solder toilet valve in the basement?

Question

Since its the lowest point in the house its very hard and time taking to dry is there a faster way , other then using bread ?

Answer 1

compression fitting - you won't be able to solder if there is any moisture left in the pipe. You can get them as in-line valves and are quite neat. You do need to be able to wield a couple of spanners so make sure you have enough space. Make sure you don't overtighten.

Answer 2

Purchase a toilet valve with a compression fitting.All you have to do is tighten the nut,no soldering.

Answer 3

If you mean the angle stop (little valve) that controls the flow of water to the toilet, the most common ones are compression - just snug them up.  If they leak, snug a little more.  Be careful not to over-tighten.
