I am replacing my water line that was leaky and I can't seem to reconnect to my 2 solonoid valve (picture attached). I this valve a one time push on connection ? I pulled the old broken hose out of it and have a new hose connection but can't seem to figure out how to get it connect. It looks like some of the plastic is left behind.

Thanks,

Steve

Pull the valve and put in a vice if you have one. Push in on the plastic ring and dig out the plastic piece with a small screwdriver. In the process, you might damage the prongs inside the valve that capture the water line. If so, new water valve time.
Personally, I use a universal valve kit P# 4318046 It has screw on connections that compress and retain the water lines. It doesn't have this problem.
