Dave -
I was unaware of the Flair-It fitting, and it looks like a good solution even if the pipe is PEX. Thanks for pointing it out to me.
Kevin -
As you pointed out, and has already been said, the first challenge is to get the leaky valve off. Then, you have to hope that the end of the pipe is square and undamaged, and that it is either PEX or PVC. And finally you have to hope that the end of the pipe protrudes far enough out of the big sleeve that you can put a tool on the Flair-It fitting's knurled nut to tighten it.
Fortunately, if you buy a Flair-It fitting and the above conditions are not met, the fitting will still be part of your solution. No waste.
