Hello.
I am wanting to replace the pictured water pipe, as I am getting greatly reduced pressure to my refrigerator. Here is the piping that I am looking to replace.
First off, what is the purpose of those valves?
What is the purpose of the pipe having the U-shaped connections, instead of being straight?
How do you replace copper piping in the middle of a run? Do I need to replace it all the way back to the hot water heater? I know when you replace waste piping in the middle of a run, you use no hub connectors (Ferncos).
Do I need to do something about the pictured gate valve?
Thanks in advance.
