How do you removed it in the future? It seems like it is easy to put on, but do I need a special tool to remove it?

They are easy to remove with this: SharkBite U710A Disconnect Clip, 1/2-InchBut you can use any similarly shaped piece of plastic, or a wrench. Lots of videos online showing how to do it.

Yes they sell a plastic tool to help remove it. But the tool behind the shut of valve on the pipe and pull toward you and oust back on the valve at the same time then pull it off. Very easy

That special removal tool that you would need is actually visible in the picture of this valve. It is a "C" shaped ring that is next to the copper-colored end and can be slipped on & off from the side. This will be as easy to remove as it was to install, but I doubt that I'll ever have to remove it.

The tool comes with the valve. It is shown in the inage with a cut on the side at the end if the valve. This will come off and you can save it. You put it on your pipe and push the bevelled edge against the yellow ring that you see inside the vale. This will release the valve.

Yes you will need a special tool to separate the fitting if the need arises. The tool is plastic and shaped like the letter C. The removal tool is inexpensive and easy to use.

Good product and as William S mentioned the tool comes with the valve. Put it on the pipe with the small beveled end towards the valve. Push tool and valve together to release the valve.

No, it actually comes already attached. I could not find a way to remove it.

I just removed mine again to test it and found that it can be removed relatively easy without any issues. Good Luck!

No! Just Peel it off! Put it on a clean area! A little hard to pull off at first!

Nope. It has to be removed. There are videos on YouTube that show exactly how to do this. The worst part is one of the clips, it's very hard to remove - but given time and patience, it is doable. Repair shops would charge $150 or more for this.

Pull it off. As you pull it, it comes to what appears to be as far as it goes, slide it a little more and it will come off. Doesn't hurt it at all. Good luck and happy cutting.

Like everyone else is saying, you can simply peel it off. This is also useful for fixing a bad install. Although, I have gotten small particles under mine on install and now they're really embedded into the shield.

It is not ment to be removed. But if you are handy you can open it up and replace it. I have not changed mine it seems to work just fine.

Yes is really very easy. I'm install and remove it every time I used it. I don't have it on . It is a great product.

You dont need a "tool". You just push it on by hand, and pull it off by hand to remove.

You have to pop it off its kind of hard. Don't worry about breaking anything it'll come off!

You can remove it with a putty knife or even a kitchen knife. Get it started at a corner and it just peels off. Easy. No dMage.

I haven't tried removing the protector, as it went on fairly evenly. If you can pick up an edge you should be able to peel it off.
