Two questions.
1) Is the reliability of these valves acceptable and just as good as a soldered connection ?
2) Instructions say you can use these valves on copper lines. I have water lines running to sinks and toilets that are chrome plated not bare copper, maybe copper underneath (I am not plumber oriented) Maybe some smart person knows what is underneath. I have not yet taken sandpaper yet to find out. Can these type valves be installed over the chrome finish without removing the chrome ?
TIA
