I am going to do my kitchen over soon complete tearout drywall everything. Now i am going to do a new dishwasher and sink and new shutoffs the copper is like green and corroded under the sink. Right now the shutoff valves are blue Nibco's with bleeders and a couple months after i moved in i replaced the faucet and the valves didnt hold so i put some brasscrafts on also so i could hook the new moen faucet up.
Anyways............. I want to tear all this out and cap the lines for my demo, the association needs proof of a licensed plumber to do the soldering, even tho i have my own torch and did all the soldering when i rebuilt my shower last year. I want to shut the water off once and cap the lines but somehow add a shutoff valve so i can add the new shutoffs after i install my sink base and not need to notify management, also plumber wants so much more to make 2 trips one to cap, and 1 to do the dishwasher and sink and garbage disposer.
I have a hot water heater in my unit so i can shut that side off its just the cold side that sucks. I want tight cuts for my supplys also inside the cabinet im very anal.
Any tips or tricks on how to do this? i was thinking off putting a lever type shutoof somewhere in the wall when i rip the drywall out and then making that a shutoff and then leaving the wall open in that spot till the cabinets in and alll my solderings done and then patching the wall up after before i tile my backsplash.
