Abstract

A release tool for use with a push-fit valve includes a fixed member and a movable member. The fixed member includes: a central portion defining a base aperture, the central portion being rotatably fixed relative to the valve when a valve lever base is received in the base aperture; and a guiding arm extending from a side of the central portion so as to extend along a side of a valve body. The movable member defines: a conduit aperture configured for a conduit to extend therethrough during use; and a guiding aperture receiving the guiding arm of the fixed member. To disconnect the conduit from the valve, the movable member is moved from the first position to the second position to push the release collar inwardly into the valve, causing a grab ring of the valve to release the conduit. The movable member is selectively retained in the second position.
