Hey guys,
I have a one-exit water valve under the sink leading to the cold tap above. I'd like to replace it with a multi-exit valve so that I can connect the dishwasher to the main water-line. Fine, I thought. I've got myself a multi-exit valve and just need to remove the old one.
This is where I came unstuck. The thing just doesn't want to unscrew.
I have used a wrench and pliers on it and it just won't go anywhere. I assume that I just need to turn it anticlockwise.
It isn't made easier by the fact that there aren't many good points to get a grip on the thing...
I have applied WD40 about 30 mins ago and that hasn't made much difference.
Is there something I am missing? Do I need to loosen something else before it will unscrew? It doesn't look especially old, i.e. that it could have rusted inside.
Any advice would be much appreciated!
