If you need to add a shutoff valve to a water line so that you can repair a fixture or do other work while the rest of the house can still use the water, use a SharkBite Slip Ball Valve. This video shows you how I added one to a 1/2” copper pipe so I could replace a leaking faucet. This doesn’t require soldering, special tools or advanced skills.

You are the shark bit king
I see you have plenty of them
Excellent presentation straight forward
The tub spout in the shower is wild
Great short video, would have been nice if you walked us through the procedure if there WAS a leak during your inspection.
Great video and easy to understand. I learn from you that Sharkbite has a slip ball valve which is exactly what I need for my plumbing project. You cleaned both cut ends of the pipe with emery cloth, however, I believe, the cleaning of the pipe should have taken place on the entire 2" length of the upper pipe as this is where the "O" ring is located at the end of the slip fitting. The cleaning of the bottom portion of the pipe is correct as the "O" ring is located near the end of the fitting on the pipe. I also noticed that electrical cables from the junction box should have a staple with 12" of the box to meet electrical code.
I'm glad I could help identify a product that will help in your plumbing project. I agree that cleaning the copper pipe further on each side would be better.
good presentation, likely your descriptions as you did it. only thing I didn't like is speeding up the 2nd valve. i wanted to see it done again and hear a second time what you were saying. no reason to speed that up.
Hi, i pretty much had the same issue you had, the only difference was i didn't have a shut off valve in my basement for the utility tub. I had absolutely no idea how to install a shut off valve untill i saw this video. I followed each and every step as you did, bought the exact equipment needed to this and it did the job. Thank you so much for sharing and making this video. You saved me quite a few dollars if I had to call a plumber to install theae valves. Thanks again 🍻
I am so glad the video was helpful! Having shut off valves for every line is something I think should be installed when homes are built. Since that doesn't happen, we need to do it ourselves.
Thank you!! This is just what I need!
I'm glad I could help!
How do you measure when you want to replace an existing valve?
Great video, thank you 😊
I'm glad you found the video helpful
How did you know to cut off 2 in of the pipe? Is this standard for shark bites?
Each size of SharkBite tells you how much to cut off. For a 1/2" pipe this valve said 2 inches. Check the package and it will tell you the correct amount of pipe to cut out.
I don’t see anything about that on the tag
can that ball valve be permanently slightly closed to reduce volume of water ?
I have partially opened the valve to restrict the flow when testing after a repair so I think you could leave it partially open if you didn’t want the full water flow.
Not supposed to use sandpaper according to Shark Bit.
I checked with an expert in the SharkBite tech support department regarding sandpaper. The issue is with using it too much or too hard and changing the shape or diameter of the pipe so that the O-ring does not work properly. What I showed, using the proper plumber sandpaper and using it to just clean up the pipe with wiping down afterwards is OK. It is also key to use the deburring tool every time. I hope that helps.
@@upgradeyourhomediy Thanks, I was thinking about only using a finer grade sandpaper. Thanks for responding.
