    I just did this recently and I'd recommend you go with the new Sharkbite Max ball valves. It's worth spending a little more to have a stronger and longer lasting connection. I didn't have any issues with slack on my installation because I was replacing copper with pex, but as others gave noted; an extra Sharkbite connector and pex extension might be needed to get the slack needed to fit the valve between your pipe.

    @melvinmcgregor2673 7 місяців тому

    Showing how to remove a solder valve was informative - first 2.5 minutes. That said, this was not a “slip valve. Sharkbite Slip valves are longer and installed first past the insertion depth mark, e.g. for 1/2” the depth should be 1” (NOT 3/4” as shown) then, pushed back, using their tool (or something comparable) to the adjoining pipe depth mark. In reality, you will not have the “play” to push the adjoining pipe in place as presented in this clip, thus that’s the beauty of a slip valve.
