First Question is in regards to Angle Shutoff Valves with Pex-A piping. Over time, I have experienced the need to replace these valves as they tend to go bad. While I have been hesitant about using push-to-connect valves, I am particularly concerned about using Pex-A barb shutoff valve in case I need to replace the valve. Cutting off Pex-A piping might pose challenges, especially if there isn't sufficient space to install a new valve. As a result, I am unsure about the best approach in this situation.
For the toilets, my plan is to utilize copper stub outs along with compression shutoff valves. This combination has worked well for me in the past.
Second question is about the Kitchen Sink and Dishwasher connection. I have routed the piping inside the Base Cabinet. However, it appears a bit messy as I have used a separate valve for the dishwasher. To make matters worse, the piping runs next to the sheetrock, which doesn't provide optimal support. Additionally, I have employed plastic elbows for the connections to the shutoff valves.
I have attached some pictures for reference. If anyone has suggestions or examples of a clean and professional method to improve the appearance inside the cabinet, I would greatly appreciate it. Alternatively, if it is deemed acceptable to leave it as is, please let me know.
