My new bathroom Sink Faucets come with integrated supply hoses and they are too short. It's a double sink, the one on the left is short about 10-12" and the one on the right is only short about 3". What would be the best way to connect my water supply?

For the left sink I thought about using sharkbite coupling and 10" copper tube and then the 1/4 turn valve (I am open to better ideas) but a little bit confused with what to do with the one on the right.

You will need to extend the piping close enough so that the supply lines can be threaded to the new stops. It can be with PEX or with copper.

Or, pick up these 3/8" Comp x 3/8" OD x 12" supply lines.

Not nearly as elegant as Terry's method, but I think either of these would work if the stop valves ended up shy of where they need to be.

https://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbil...Compression-Coupling-Fitting-800759/207176323 Throw the nuts and everything away, except for the main piece. Then screw a short 3/8 by 3/8 supply line between the coupler and the stop valve.

Again, throw the nut away. Screw your faucet line where the nut was.

I could be wrong. I am not a plumber.

Left sink - what would be a better way to do it, use a delta supply hose or sharkbite coupling with a 10" copper tube to bring the valve to the current supply hose coming from the faucet?

Right sink - Sharkbite elbow, add about 2" copper pipe and then the valve to the current supply hose coming from the faucet?
