Hello everybody,

Looking for some assistance here. I am about to replace my small vanity but I don't think I have any shut off valves (shown in pic). Can I just shut off the main water supply - replace the vanity and sink and everything will be the same? Any tips are appreciated aside from the question.

Best,
Ryan

Yes.
Shut off the Main in order to remove the Vanity and sink.

Add shutoffs to the plumbing as you replace the vanity.

Yes shut off the main water supply. While it is off remove the compression nut on the pipe coming out of the wall and install compression stops (valves, 1/2" by 3/8= compression). Get new SS flex lines.

If the compression nut will screw onto the new valve and hold water pressure there is no reason to remove it.

Agreed. I was unclear in my response. I meant unscrew the compression nut and use it to install the compression stop.

And there is 0 reason to have used teflon tape on compression fittings like I see in that picture.
Hand tight and a 1/4 turn was all that was needed.
Only fittings that need dope or tape are tapered pipe fittings.
