  1. This is 'exactly' what i want to do. incase i missed it, is that PEX? I have a current shutoff valve further down but it is the older style and it is behind a dropceiling 'light fixture' so it is more annoying to get to then just a normal drop ceiling tile. I may do what you did and add 'another' shutoff closer as these look nice.

  2. also does the sharkbite fitting 'rotate' or stay in place? i used a sharkbite under sink valve and it rotates, doesn't affect the operation, but was annoying… just curious if this type of valve rotates as well?

  3. I would guess you could free the corroded shut off valve by spraying with WD40, then loosening the nut and seeing if the valve will open. if so, then remove the handle and nut and maybe the packing, then polish the shaft where the packing runs, lube, then snug down the packing nut and run the valve open and shut until the packing seals. Valves need the shaft cleaned and lubed periodically.

  4. Didn't use the deburring tool first? Might have compromised that sharkbite from the get go. Hope not… I've used them a couple times recently and love them. Now I don't need to pay a Rob unless it's something big lol.
