Can't you just replace the valve stem (kit), after you turn off the
water meter?

I suppose I can, but I really wanted a ball valve...

I can understand that, but looking at the existing pipe you may be in
for a bit of work. Some joints will be opened or disturbed doing the
job and they may be in need of replacing too. Be prepared to do some
other work along with the valve.

I think you are right Ed. You folks made the project a lot clearer for me.

What I was hoping was that somehow I can take the existing valve out by turning it around after taking the handle and the rest of the sticking parts out.

After all, somebody was able to put together the whole contraption without soldering anything.

I was thinking I could reverse the process of putting it together.
