Ball valve to be applied prior to installaltion of new kitchen sink faucet. faucet supply line extension necessary and goal is to reduce downtime of water line shut off in home, Suppier (Lowes) has advised to cut copper line and is easy to install. I need to verify position of straight ball valve and if soldering is necessary
The ballvalve is normally a compression type fitting and so would not normally require soldering, however you could use a threaded adaptor soldered to the copper supply line and then thread a 1/2" ball valve to that then reduce down to the correct thread to meet the tails from your new tap. Or alternativeley you can insert the valve in the supply line, and extend the pipe to nearer the sink to enable easier connection of the tap.
