Question:
Do you have any suggestions how to remove the broken FL85VR Flair-It PEX Straight Valve Stop Fitting - 3/8inch Barb x 3/8inch Barb and replace with the new one? I can’t get it to budge. Not exactly a lot of room under the single door sink ?????

Hey Jacqueline. You'll need to unthread the ends of the Flair-It PEX Straight Valve item # FL85VR and pull them back away from the fitting. Once they're disconnected you should be able to twist the pex piping back and forth to wiggle the pipes off of the barbed connectors.
How did you break your old fitting?

That’s my problem I can’t unthread it. I know what to do from there. Thought maybe you had a trick to it. It’s in my LQ horse trailer. I connected the water and one of the valve blew off. I have a regulator on my trailer to control the water pressure if that was your next question.
