Hi,

Can someone tell me how easy or difficult it will be to add shutoff valves to my bathroom sink that is currently plumbed in the linked picture below? I am a quick learner, but really no plumbing experience... lol

Thanks, Kenny.

pictures do not work.

in a perfect world those elbows would unscrew easily and an angle stop would screw onto the nipples sticking out of the wall.
worst case scenario is the nipple will break behind the wall and you'll have to open it up to do a repair.
they make straight stops that are 3/8 compression x 3/8 compression.
removing the supply going to the faucet but leaving about an inch sticking out of the elbow and adding a shut off there might be the safest thing for a novice.

mine opened .. he has 3/8 female x 3/8 compression chrome 90's.

I'd wager that if galvanized nipples are behind those 90's, something would break off if one were to try and unscrew them. It looks like one of them has been leaking a little bit, and it looks like a tiled wall. I'd be prepared to open up the wall and replace whatever's there.

Ok, so I guess I won't go messing with trying to unscrew it as I don't want to tackle breaking into the wall.

So, you are saying I can cut the supply line, leaving about an inch in the 90 that is there, and attach a valve to that? It will just screw onto it? And I can attach braided supply line from there to the faucet?

Thanks for the info.
