A previous owner decided to texture paint the exposed pipes in the basement which is making life for me a little more difficult. This shut off valve is giving me problems (constantly dripping) so I would like to replace. I have general plumbing knowledge, but have not replaced shut off valve before. Am I biting off more than I can chew?
It looks to me like 3/4" cooper pipe -> some sort of coupling?? -> shut off valve -> threaded galvanized steel pipe.
How would you approach this? I'm not opposed to attempting to solder, but would like to avoid if possible.
Thanks for any advice. Hope everyone is staying safe.
