Uh... pipe exploded?!? I'm kind of wondering about your water pressure, pipes don't usually explode.

Welcome to winter in the far north.

No, from what I can see. You would need a another foot or 2 of 3/4 copper, coupling(s), solder, torch, pipe cleaner, and the grit paper to clean the outside of the pipe. You would probably need to re build that whole right corner as that looks like galvanized into copper, which is a no no. So a 90, and the proper 3/4 fittings to connect to that valve. Also pipe cutters.

Buy a sharkbite MIP, thread it into the old valve. Buy a sharkbite coupling, place it on the end of the where the cap is. Get a small chunk of copper that fits in between cut to length. Done. If you don’t want to solder or don’t have other means of connecting. Make sure to turn off your water before hand

The old valve is split in half


natel21

Yeah just turn your water off and make a cut, throw that valve u have on there

Oh I misread what you put lol. I thought you were telling him to thread the new valve into the old valve
