Hello all,

I want to replace the shutoff valve to my home.

The existing valve has threaded female ends as you can see on the photo he

How would I take the old valve out and then put the new valve (a ball valve) in?

I see on youtube videos describing cutting the pipe out, soldering extensions, etc. I hope these are not necessary.

Thanks!

You are "screwed" Somewhere you are going to need to cut our a pipe
nipple and replace it with a union coupler. You will likely have to
remove a LOT of pipe to do it properly
