I have a 3/4" copper hot and cold shutoff valve to the upstairs plumbing. Both are completely stuck open from lack of use. When I tried to turn off the hot, forcing it broke the valve stem internally so now turning it does nothing.
How does one replace this inline? I don't even think I could fit a sharkbite valve on it because the the street elbow being so short.
Is it practical to remove the valve with that nut under the handle and replace that or will the valve seat be corroded beyond use?
Here's the valve and thanks for any ideas.
