Having replaced many of the Accor push/pull valves, I’ve never twisted them off. The 1/2” cpvc is way to flimsy to risk it. Instead, I use a mini tubing cutter (you can Google the technique). Once it’s off, prep the new valve by sanding both the remaining pipe from the wall, and the inside of the new valve. You can buy a 1/4 turn valve at Lowe’s or Home Depot. You’ll want the CPVC version, which is secured using CPVC primer and cement. You’ll also have to turn off the water to the house before removing the existing valve, of course.
