We had quite a problem as well. We solved this by leaving the
compression fitting and nut on the pipe, and discarding the rest of the
old valve, and attaching the newly bought valve to the old compression
fitting and nut. After wrenching it really really tight, it worked
perfect. Much easier than sawing it off and sodering on a new pipe to
add a new fitting. Don't get discourgaged if it leaks the first time,
you have to really tighten it good with a wrench.
