Re not being able to move the pipes any, you can get a repair whatsit

I'll look out for those kind of features, they seem just right for
this job.

The couplings with "no inner whatsit" are generally called 'slip'
couplings.

Can that feature be included in a lever valve, or is it an extra?

No, how could it? Oh, I suppose the 'open' position could be such
that a pipe would go right through but I've never seen this designed
in. Slip couplings usually look identical to normal straight
couplings but can be slid wholly onto a pipe.

Apologies, my mind was full of lever valves and gate valves at the
time.
