    Anyone any advice on removing this black plastic fitting from the isolation valve. The black threading is part of an mdpe fitting that's connected to an isolation valve with 1 inch connection. It's pretty tight and I'd prefer not to do any damage!

    I'm not a plumber but I think a good quality strap wrench should do the job

    Cheers all. Got it off earlier as suggested above. The plastic got a bit roughed up but was worth it!
