Bathroom shut off valve connection type?
Hi, I want to replace my bathroom shut off valve. Attached is a picture of the shut off valve. I don’t think it’s the Threaded kind that’s attached to a nipple. Is it a sweat connection? The pipe going from the wall to the shut off valve is silver, not copper. Could it be Chrome covered Copper pipe and sweated to the shut off valve? Could it be threaded and I just don’t see any threads exposed? The house is from 1978. I just moved in so I don’t know much about the inner workings of the House’s plumbing.
