What happens here

The first repair option is installing a SharkBite fitting. To ensure correct installation, mark the insertion depth on the copper pipe. Push the SharkBite valve onto the pipe until you feel a distinct 'click', indicating it's fully seated and locked in place. Turn the valve to the 'off' position to confirm functionality. This is often the fastest and most DIY-friendly repair option.

Goal: Install a new shut-off valve using a SharkBite fitting
