Thank you Reach4 very much for the reply. Well, if there is no direct adapter to fit this copper pipe from the 1/4 turn stop valve, I think I will save this copper tube for later possible use and keep this 36" braided supply line. I will put a tag on the supply line to indicate the...

Thanks to the great help from Reach4 and wwhitney and Mr Tee, I successfully replaced both shut off valves with the new quarter turn angle valve as well as the 35 plus years old faucet with a new one. The most difficult part of the work, which is replacing the valves in the hard to reach...

Thank you Reach4 very much. We held the ring with a plier and wiggleed the main body with wrench slightly, and it came out. Thank you very much.

Thank you Reach4 very much for the reply. I will give it a try. It is over 40 years old. Any other tricks, I would appreciate it very much. Thank you very much.

Thank you wwhitney very much for the comments. I think I will use #2 if I need to. My son is working on it without removing the drain pipe so far. His body is better. Can I ask some urgent question. The copper supply line shutoff valve is not not coming out from the pipe. We removed the nut...

Thank you wwhitney very much for the comments. I was looking for ABS slip joint connection like Keeney 1-1/2-in Plastic Straight Coupling, but I could not find. I guess they do not make this slip joint in ABS form. This would be the best if I cut the trap arm at point B. I do not need to use...

Thank you Reach4 very much for the reply. I now see clearly what your original suggestion meant by this diagram. Although if the cut is made at A in your diagram, then it would be ideal with no bend in the middle, I would like to make a cut at B location because I feel more comfortable with...

Thank you wwhitney very much for the comments. Now, I understand better and clearly that my existing P trap is ABS p trap, and it is different from the PVC p trap. Thank you very much.

Thank you wwhitney very much for the explanation. Please pardon my poor English. When I first read the word upstream, downstream, I though how the drain flow could flow up(upstream) in general. I thought it flows down(downstream). Now, I understand that the word up and down is like uptown...

Thank you wwhitney very much for the comments. Happy Holidays. I learned a new terminology. I did not know that there is a term Schedule 40 pipe. How do you connect the regular 1.5" or 1.25" p trap drain white pvc pipe to this ABS 1.5 pipe? According to your explanation, this is connecting...

Thank you Reach4 very much for the comments. Happy Holidays. Could you explain what is the downstream of the trap adapter and upstream of the trap adapter? Also, if I cut where is the best place to cut on the drain pipe? Is the white line that I put on the photo a good place to cut for easy...

Thank you Reach4 very much for the reply. Thanks to your explanation, I learned a little more on the ABS and PVC drain pipes, and I got the picture of what you are explaining. If I cut to make enough space for the work, then I think there is a little bit of problem because of the drain pipe...

Thank you Mr tee very much for the reply. I learned in this forum that Terry strongly oppose using this corrugated stop. So, I am replacing it with the Basscraft quarter turn angle valve. I will see if the copper connection pipe fits this quarter turn angle valve. If it does not fit, I will...

Thank you Reach4 very much for the reply. Could you elaborate on with some photo links? Since I am not familiar with the drain pipes, I do not know what and how to do. So, you think the copper pipe that I pointed in the photo is better and last longer than the Basscraft bradid 36" hose. I...
