 Almost done or Maybe not
Author: kissdemon (VA)

Alright I just replaced my bathroom sink and faucet had some problems but managed through. Turned my water back on and the went back to the bathroom sink to turn the valves on but they won't turn. The valves are brand new quarter turn Sharkbite stop valves. What could I have done wrong? Both valves are in exactly the same state, they just won't turn. Any help or ideas are appreciated.

Turn the water off relieve back pressure and open the stops.now turn the water back on.Or just support and use more force?shark spin is not always a win win.

I've noticed all my new ball valves and stops were hell to open the first time and seemed stuck. Did you open/close before you installed? I thought my stop was broken the first time I tried to open one. Make sure to hold the installed Sharkbite independently from the pipe or you could do damage by twisting.
