Your example shows soldering with valve body and check valves installed. Is this the recommended sweating practice or should the valve body and chk valves be removed?
Yeah, I've been looking into this can't find a good answer so far. Taking the valve apart is a bit involved, and you need special tools. Though it seems that the valve should have enough thermal mass, and with a wet rag wrapped around it, you may just be able to get away with it. Though I'd at least remove the shut offs, if yours has them as it's easy enough.

I've watched multiple videos and nowhere does it say how to make the water hotter. Adjusting the temperature should be a basic video on here.
