the instructions are not helpful, Do I remove the plastic tube inside for use with copper plumbing? On the other end-the knob does not move?

No do not remove it. Make sure the pipe is clean and free of burs before installing it and make sure you push hard to set it correctly

I agree. I'm installing a bidet and the old valve won't shut the water off completely. Bought this locally and was clueless about the instructions which are 6 pictures no text. 1) cut pipe 2) Use a special deburring tool and length guide 3) mark the pipe according to the tool 4/5) Insert pipe/connecter 6) how to remove with another special tool. If I hadn't watched some YouTube videos, it would be nonsense. I've also read numerous reviews saying the plastic insert is optional for copper.

It's a personal preference to remove or not remove the insert for copper. I think that insert will restrict the flow but since this is to a toilet, that would not matter. If I was using a fitting on a 3/4 inch copper line, I would remove it so to not restrict the flow.

We have used them several times, and have not removed anything. Use of emery cloth will ensure pipe is clean and free of burrs. Knob does seem hard to turn, so hold the pipe to support it while turning.

Do not remove the plastic insert. The shut off knob may feel "stiff" prior to first use: and require some force to turn to the "off' position. These fittings are easy to work with and perform well.

You don't have to remove insert if used on copper pipe. Knob on other end does turn but are very stiff.

No. You do not have to remove the inside plastic part for Copper, PVC, or Pex. The valve has a 1/4 Turn (90 degree) knob that controls the flow from the 1/2" inlet to the 3/8" outlet. Go to YouTube and see the video at this link:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RiqhtvgrH8

This is more a soldering gun. It is not hot enough to do plumbing. You might be able to do some light weight tin projects. Remember the area around the solder point has to be hot also. The Weller would take a very long time to do copper pipe. As a rule, I just use mine for wiring, but I could imagine it being used for small diameter copper.

The strainer unscrews from the stem, but the knob does not, as far as I can tell.

Normaly you dont need a tool. Just bend the plastic a little, and the will pass the smal knobs.

I don't know because I threw mine away. The brass seemed strong and solid but the area where you attach to the faucet broke. The knobs on top were stiff and not easy to turn on/off. I hope I just got a bad one.

As long as the old plumbing and values are right, you don't need to take everything out. I replaced the standard Delta circular knobs with this and they didn't plumb the values straight because it doesn't matter for the circular knobs. So when I put these handles on, they don't line up the way they should with the tub because there is groves on the values the handles slide over, but I left it because I didn't want to replumb everything.

I took off the rubber caps at bottom and used a pipe cutter from Home Depot - just one of the little wheel cutters for copper pipe - was pretty easy. Then I put the rubber caps back on an you cannot tell I did anything.

You have to rotate/turn the light tube. If you look carefully there are two slots on either side of the light fixture. The light bulb has metal sprongs/tips at either end. You know I just tried and I don't remember how I did it. Try calling the company as they don't have online videos telling you how to remove this particular product. 800.842.8848

I got the same issue at first. I managed to open it up this way: Hold the bottom plastic/clear at the point (the spout) with one finger in one hand, and your other hand is holding the the stainless/metal part, then pull the clear plastic part away from the stainless /metal part. Good luck. Hope it works for you.

Same as Daniel f only my new knob wouldn't come off and I didn't want to scratch the shaft so I removed the C clip on the bottom of the shaft and put it together. I had to lay in the tub to get the C clip back on no big deal. Put a towel over the drain in case you drop the C clip

Yes I had a 1/2" copper pipe slip join situation and it worked. There is a space between the threads on the end of the plastic pipe Delta supplys that I had to cut off about 3/4:" with a hack saw. See item (6) in the instructions. Then everything worked OK.

The adapters for the knob are plastic and unthreaded. You simply choose the adapter that most closely matches the thread size and slowly screw the knob into place, creating the threads along the way. If you have a tap you can tap the plastic. Make sure you thread it in place as much as possible to keep it from coming loose. I live the knob, it works great and I haven't had it come loose at all.

This came from their website http://www.libertyhardware.com/bath-hardware-tray/franklin-brass-removable-tray-e850.htm Contact the company http://www.libertyhardware.com/contact.aspx probably have to copy and paste links..G/L

Obtain a short piece (1" long or so) of 1/4" diameter copper tubing reamed out to exactly fit over the TC shaft. Then clamp the Cu tubing in a standard brass compression fitting (with the TC installed, when the ferule collapses it will also tighten the Cu around the TC) which will usually have 1/4" NPT threads. Then use either a reducing bushing or bell reducer to adapt this assembly to the 1/2" NPT of the brew plumbing. I've done this 4 times with no problems.

We have no problem. I think that's a question for your plumber or whoever installed it. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

There are four eye screws at the bottom to remove the interior assembly. Then there are two push in plugs to remove the tube from the interior base. It would appear that you only need to push the two plugs to remove the tube but for me the plugs failed. I had to remove two more screws from the bottom assembly to get to the plugs and put them back in place.

you have to stuff the electrical connection down in the tube and slide the handlebar assembly through and pull electrical connection back through the oval hole. Remember to put the oval shaped nut inside the handlebar assembly before slipping it through...you need that to use the adjustment knob properly.
