It is the first time that I have seen something very useful and well explained about plumbing, the kind that no one has ever said anything about and something so simple, thank you Mark Ballard, for giving us that great experience.
Had a cracked nut behind the olive ring very close to the wall, slid a flat screwdriver into the crack and broke it in half, then I followed your instructions... worked like a champ, Thank You.
Mark, Enjoyed the video. The only suggestion I might have is to clean the bitter end of the pipe or tubing and add a drop or two of penetrating oil prior to beginning!
Dear Mark, Thank you for the clear instructions. I’ll be just sawing of my pipe though, because I think the pipe is too damaged. Save myself the trouble. I do appreciate your video!! Thanks.
I've used a mini Dremel style drill with a 1 inch circular saw blade. Obviously taking great care to not damage the pipe. Useful if pipe is very close to the wall and hard to get at.
With a lot of care especially because the pipe is usually in a tight hard to get to area with a hacksaw I used a Dremel tool at low speed with metal cutter. Again....slow and careful. And faster.
I can't find the video where you say you can put an olive over a squeezed copper pipe, replacing leaky valves for a sick neighbor in about 4 hours hennas really hoping to have that knowledge just in case.
using the tool at 8:27 it straitens the pipe and removes the brass Farrule (not an olive an olive is food a farrule is a part of a compression fitting he is calling an olive) all in one shot. but then again im in America we call a buggy a cart a bonnet a hood a lolly a tractor trailer , semi, or a truck also spotted dick means you have a std not a can of food.
There are many video' s on youtube on learning English. Most of them go beyond adding a 'n' to an 'a' before a word starting with vowel. Never heard that olive is an exception though.
1. What you Brits call an Olive, we Yanks call a ferrule or compression ring. 2. Should be "an" olive, not "a" olive. I hope your mechanical experience is better than your grammar.
Very helpful, thanks Having a problem getting a brass olive off even with a remover, as I don't do it often I may have made the wrong approach, looks like I may have to cut it off.. Damn!
Residential plumbing in the US uses half-inch inner diameter copper pipe. When trying to remove a compression ring for a hose Bibb washing machine water supply line, I discovered that the compression nut for hose Bibbs is bigger than for other fittings, such as for faucets and toilets. This happened even though everything uses the same copper pipe. A normal threaded tool won’t work. Instead, there are puller tools with arms that reach around and grab compression nuts.
Very Helpful! I was gonna try the last method you showed. After watching I see why that would have been a bad idea and could have damaged the joint behind it.
Thank you Mark, what a beautifully explanatory video. Watching this video was like being shown something by your dad for the first time, but with the relaxed confidence of a true professional. It was an absolute pleasure to watch and learn about something I didn't know anything about, but in a way that didn't make assumptions about prior knowledge.

Omg didn't expect pliers to work so easily on ancient fitting but it worked!!! Thanks!

You are a live saver changing a motorised zone valve 22mm and you pipe grip and wiggle worked a treat . 👍
Wonderful, clear, useful examples. Cheers, Mark!

Some good methods, I used a dremel with a small cutting wheel when I replaced 8mm TCV on my radiators 👍
Dear Mark,
Thank you for the clear instructions. I’ll be just sawing of my pipe though, because I think the pipe is too damaged. Save myself the trouble. I do appreciate your video!! Thanks.
Thanks, really useful. I like the first method with the pliers. I'll try that in future. Historically, I have generally used the hacksaw method.
Thanks Mark, great info!
The simple 1st method worked for me - thank you :)
Experiance counts for a lot. Thank you from just a diyer.
I've used a mini Dremel style drill with a 1 inch circular saw blade. Obviously taking great care to not damage the pipe. Useful if pipe is very close to the wall and hard to get at.
Moisture and electricity do not mix well. Otherwise, a last resort if needed.
Tool is worth every penny. Just buy it and be done.
Hi. Do you have the link to your video on how to seal the olive to a damaged pipe that you mention in this video please.
I was hoping to find this video as well.
Thank you! I appreciate your videos
Excellent video! Subscribed
Works a treat to remove AN olive.
I need to change some radiators with 8mm inlets...decided to invest in an 8mm olive cutter. Not cheap but zero stress
THANK YOU
Fantastic.
Thank you!!!
How about using a mototool (Dremel) to cut into the olive on both sides?
With a lot of care especially because the pipe is usually in a tight hard to get to area with a hacksaw I used a Dremel tool at low speed with metal cutter. Again....slow and careful. And faster.
Thank you!
We call it compression sleeve here in the States. Love calling it an olive tho.
Good video , I'm about to fix water pipes on my boiler that blew of it during ice weather and it flooded boiler casing
wood chisel and give it a pop axially and then the other way making a cross. then pliers and heat if necessary

great stuff
So how does one remove 30 feet of pipe and get it into the vice?
Figured out how to solder vertically by practicing on a vice, so feeling pretty Unstoppable at the moment
If it's copper pipe, I know a couple meth heads who will have that pipe out in four minutes.
You have the link please for buying. Thank you
If you don’t have a specialty tool for this, use vise grips and work it off. Be careful not to grab it too tight and deform the pipe
In America we call those rings ferrules or compression rings.
I am not a plumber but I am pretty sure I've seen somebody using a tinsnip. Wanna try that?
Interesting, thanks. I don't see the link referred to when replacing the olive on a damaged pipe. (at 8:20)

Where is the link for the "olive" removal tool?
I wish I knew what an olive was. Must be a Brit term.
Okay watched the vid. Now I know. Thanx.
What about plastic 10mm pipes?
You forgot to mention the olive splitter made by dickie dyer and rottemberger
Awesome! 👌Subbed!
There are many video' s on youtube on learning English. Most of them go beyond adding a 'n' to an 'a' before a word starting with vowel. Never heard that olive is an exception though.
Are there similar video 's about the correct use of the apostrophe and space character?
@@WalkersCastle 😄 I'd better not make such video!
Sometimes adding standard flux to your first methods helps just side off
Sealing a new olive if pipe has been crushed@8.15. where is your video on compression to explain this
Olive - noun. a small bitter green or black fruit that is eaten or used to produce oil, or a Mediterranean tree on which this fruit grows.
video "how to use compression fittings , coming soon" WHEN
An olive….
Yes it's "an olive". Don't you just hate poor english.
Ferrel
The best way to remove an olive is with a toothpick..... "Shaken, not stirred"
1. What you Brits call an Olive, we Yanks call a ferrule or compression ring.
2. Should be "an" olive, not "a" olive. I hope your mechanical experience is better than your grammar.
How To Remove a Olive, do you mean AN OLIVE
Olive? Es aceitunas 🫒
I have done dozens and usually use a file I find the control better than a Junior hack saw. But the other tools look great.
Thanks Mark, really helpful info 👍😃
Very helpful, thanks

Brilliant video, very well explained and clear demonstrations, thank you
Very useful, thanks
I ripped one of with my bare hands.
Very Helpful! I was gonna try the last method you showed. After watching I see why that would have been a bad idea and could have damaged the joint behind it.
I was just wondering if a 10mm olive is harder to remove?
8 and 10mm pipe very soft. Probably squashed pipe. But same method
Is it ok just to leave the old nut and olive on with a new fitting ?
Lol in America we call the olive a compression ring. Good video. Thanks
Aka ferrule
Most excellent video.
Thanks for advice the olive removal tool was great because I didn't have enough access to move the nut away from the olive.
Awesome!Subbed!
Brass or copper? What's the best to use for compression fitting? Any difference and if so why?
Thank you Mark, what a beautifully explanatory video. Watching this video was like being shown something by your dad for the first time, but with the relaxed confidence of a true professional. It was an absolute pleasure to watch and learn about something I didn't know anything about, but in a way that didn't make assumptions about prior knowledge.
when the olive is compressed, I use a rawl bolt inside to expand it and the pipe. When done and the bolt is out, then they are easy on the plier.
Does anyone have any luck using the old stop valve stuffed with a few washers?
A very good explanation. Thank you
Very helpful! Much better than the local council 😢😂
There is another way.
This is a great video!!!
Thank you
Great video sir!
bullshit olive remover tool purchased one wont fit in pipe cut with pipe slice because of burrs wasted my money
you couldn't clean off the burrs?
How to remove "AN" olive!
That shit won’t work
Great video Mark, cheers.
Olive? Why you have 🫒 in the plumbing?
