Anyone have any favorite style valves for under sink and toilet?
I have 1/4 turn 90 degree fitting valves but also just curious. .

Thanks

I can use a pvc glue and a pvc valve but prefer not to due to pvc pipe length limitations for replacements after gluing.

Thanks!

I had NO problems replacing my Accorn push pull valve with shark bite. Shark bites can easily be removed with removal tool.

Hardest part twisting the accorn push/pull valves off. Scotch bright the tube clean up and smooth out surface so o-ring will seal good. Plenty of Utube videos. Plumbers use them cause the are easy and don’t leak and easy to remove.
