I ordered these last week: Brasscraft 1/2 in. CPVC Inlet x 3/8 in. Comp Outlet 1/4-Turn Angle Ball Valve. They have a metal ball valve and glue onto the PCVC. I don't trust shark bite - which is the same type of connection as these popup valves. Should you ever need to replace these, the valve body will unscrew from the CPVC "adapter" part of the valve.
Although this video shows removal on copper pipe, the same technique works on CPVC. Pipe is in better condition after removal than if you spin off the valve.

I recounted and my house has 12 valves. I missed the 2 under the garage sink. 3 in each of the 2 bathrooms, 3 under the kitchen sink, one behind the refrigerator, and 2 under the garage sink.
