Cut the galvanized pipe. Remove the union.
Unscrew the union from the female threads
Unscrew the galvanized from the female thread
Screw in a male adapter on each side. The brass will act as a dielectric.
I would cut back as far as you can and get rid of as much galvanized as possible
Just use a male or female adapter to transition to pex.
don't use sharkbites. They work, sure. but use the money you save on sharkbites
and just buy some inexpensive crimpers at home dopey.
Are you sure that's copper back there? Looks like more galvanized to me. If your replacing all of this with plastic pipe, you're going to lose your ground. Make sure you re-attach your ground properly

Okay I think I understand what you mean. Basically I will unscrew the shut off fitting from the union and leave the union in place and tie a male adapter into the union. I'm pretty sure it's copper but I could be wrong.
