Installing Water Shut Off Valves On Copper Pipe
What happens here
Install the angle stops onto the male threaded adapters. For the cold water side, thread a standard single angle stop onto the male adapter and tighten it securely with an adjustable wrench. Ensure the valve is oriented correctly for easy access. For the hot water side, thread a dual angle stop onto the male adapter. This type of stop provides two separate shut-offs: one for the faucet and one for an appliance like a dishwasher. Position it so the dishwasher line (typically coming from below) can easily connect to the lower outlet. Tighten securely with the adjustable wrench.
Goal: Attach the new angle stops to the threaded male adapters.
