How do I disconnect the water line from the water valve?

ANSWER Hello Walter,
Remove the water line by pushing the line and the ring around it toward the water valve. While holding pressure on the ring, pull the water line out. Now look at the end of the water line. About 1/4 of an inch from the end, there is normally a groove put in the water line from it's installation in the previous water valve. Slice this 1/4 inch off squarely with a razor knife. Reinsert the water line into the water valve and push hard until you feel the line "pop" in about another 1/4 of an inch. Once it pops in the last amount, to seat the seal, pull on the line without touching the ring.
