I've decided to go ahead and look back into the wall and redo the CPVC from inside the wall out including the valves. From my previous post, my CPVC T is leaking right before the valve. It is the T and pipe seal, not the Valve. I'm figure I might as well do the complete thing brand new including the dishwasher pipe and valve also as this is about 5 years old.

Looking at the attached picture, should I rebuild it exactly like it is now or should I do anything different?

Thanks.

Bring a single pipe out and then attach a double stop valve to it, or a single stop with dual outlets.

Forgive my ignorance, but what does a double stop valve look like? I found a single stop with dual outlets so I know what to look for if I go that route. I would think that I want to stick with a metal valve, correct?

A double stop has two outlets and a handle on each end so you can turn either pipe off without affecting the other one. Not usually a big concern but some people want the convenience.
