 Kitchen sink shut off valve replacement??
Author: Elshipley (TX)

I have galvanized steel pipes and cannot use a saddle valve to hook up the ice maker to my fridge, nor do I want to since they tend to leak. I am considering replacing the shutoff valve with a new that has multiple connections where I can hook the fridge water line directly to it, and possibly add another line for a under sink water filter in the future. What kind of valve would I need? Most of the ones I have seen have compression valves on them, I'm not sure that is what I want or need. The current sink water line is a FIP connection I believe.
