I had to laugh when you went for your socket set. I deal with these ball valves on a regular basis and know off the top of my head that they're eight sided. If you hit them with a little bit of heat it will break the bond of the loctite. The Teflon seals can take about 500°F. A heat gun on low typically does the trick. Great job. See you tomorrow.

I do like the valve cut-a-ways. I have used ball valves for many years in my career as a general contractor. Never had one seize up or leak...except for the cheap plastic ones. I put three-way ball valves in a fire-pumper I built. Check them out...pretty cool. Way to expensive to cut apart, though. Thanks for the videos!

ScoutCrafter, As always, I enjoyed the video. As you are doing you should note the function of the valve. The ball valve you just did is like a light switch on or off, flow or no flow. You cannot open it halfway to control the flow. There are ball valves like the one in the kitchen faucet that have an opening in the ball that is drilled to allow control. Your steam valve as you note is a globe valve. As you open or close the valve you can control the opening and the flow. The gate valve as you open the valve there is a change in the cross-section. A gate valve can control flow, but not as well Asa globe valve. My first full-time job was supervising the construction of two 188,500 DWT tankers. There were three 36" diameter cargo lines, each was epoxy coated on the inside. I had the dubious honor of inspecting the pipes on the inside.I would get to crawl about 450' through each pipe. The pipe was closed on the far end, so you had to turn around and crawl out. Halfway down the pipe was a butterfly valve that you had to crawl through. Pipe inspection was not one of my favorite jobs, for obvious reasons. To make matters worse our steel inspector would walk along the pipe on the outside with a piece of steel in hand. About every 15' he'd hit the pipe and ask if I was OK. If you want to do a cut-away look for an air cylinder. They come apart fairly easily. You'll find the piston rod, seals, piston, rings, the cylinder and the end caps. Bob

I’ve been wondering if the cutters could be restored on those. Maybe build it up with a TIG weld, then grind it down? The heat from the TIG would make a hardened surface. Could probably get in there with a die filer to shape and sharpen them back up after welding. If I didn’t have so many major projects that I’m juggling right now I’d give it a try.

3:46 Just an idea, but if you had a threaded rod that screwed into the fitting. Would taking a section of the rod and tighten double nuts into it, until the rod is super tight onto the threads, then try to unscrew the fitting end using the "sacrificial" nut tightened onto the fitting. Would that work it loose?

I do love ball valves over other types (usually). But the outdoor valves usually have a deep stem that goes into the house to the actual valve to allow the water in the freeze area to drain. Not a good explanation, you can find a good diagram to see it. The ball valve is probably too difficult or expensive to make like that.
