I am a novice DIY in plumbing.
I need to replace at least 30 years old shut-off value in the bathroom sink shut-off valve. I showed the attached photo to my friend who is good at plumbing and to one of the Home Depot staff. My friend said it is threaded, and HD staff said it is compression ring shut-off valve. I am confused. I think for the compression ring valve the exposed thread is too long, but for threaded valve, the female nut is absent.
Could you tell which one is correct from the photo? Thank you very much.
