Try and unsweat it. That little neck'd down pipe might be a pita and have to be replaced.

Yeah it would mean cutting out an access hole in the bedroom behind it.

I heated the hell out of it and it didn’t budge. Im thinking it’s like this https://www.homedepot.com/p/BrassCraft-1-2-in-Sweat-Inlet-x-3-8-in-Compression-Outlet-Multi-Turn-Angle-Valve-with-5-in-Extension-Tube-Bell-Flange-CS40BX-C1/202047063

I’m not sure why anyone in their right minds would install something like that though. It’s impossible to service, and makes replacement a mess.

The walls of the chrome pipe are super thin too.
