Yup! not enough pipe to work with to remove and install the ice maker line. POS building shortcut. .
That a plumber will do.
So the builders did leave enough cpvc (not pvc for the spelling/accuracy types) in case i did get a flowtite valve to come off with lots of gouges, and had to cut one @ 3/8 shorter to get a good seal. And of course one flowtite is not coming off easily or at all. . . .
The ones I have connected do not leak so far, but now have enough knowledge and maybe enough experience to fix whatever does leak
4 down, 7/8 more to go
FYI, the parts alone for valves and new lines is between $200 and $300, depending upon lengths, so a plumber doing the whole house for +/- $700 is not unreasonable. . .
