hi
I am planning on getting new kitchen countertops installed and my kitchen sink replaced.
The hot and cold faucets in the sink do have Stop values located under the sink. There is a copper pipe that connects the faucets to each of the hot and cold Stop values. It looks like I have flare fittings at the end of the copper pipe which attach to the stop valves. I would need to disconnect and remove the flare fitting and hence the copper pipe during the remodel.
If so would I be able to re attach and reuse the same flare fitting?
As an alternative I would like to use the following product from Watts called Flood Safe. How would i know what to order (FIP)/Fine thread female? And how would i know size to buy for the stop valve end. Your thoughts on using such a product instead of the existing copper pipe connections?
