Help Needed

I am a newbie on here and a very UNhandyman. Here's what I want to do. I want to install some shut off valves under my bathroom sink as there are none. If I cut off the old connection, it would only leave about an inch of the copper pipe left. Is that enough room for a compression fitting? If not, is it possible to sweat on some sore of connection and then add more length of copper pipe? I was thinking it would LOOK like a PVC connector that is bigger than the pipes and both pipes fit into it. Only these would be of copper.

HI and welcome to the forum.

I BELIEVE a "sharkbite" fitting will work in your case. I could be wrong though, considering you only have an inch to work with.

I'm sure you thought of this already...but be sure to turn off your water before you cut anything..and pics would help...
