A little tutorial of sorts with my first experience installing sharkbite (push to connect) valves under my sink. So far, so good!

if you don't have enough pipe length to cut the copper, watch this video:

Sharkbite valve ½ inch and 3/8inch

Copper Pipe cutter best for tight spaces

The flexible hose has rubber washer inside that seals the connection when tightened. When the rubber wears out, that Teflon tape doesn't help because it will leak from the top of the nut. Good job.

Good video for beginners, for sure! Rueben is so articulate so I imagine super intelligent! Adorable too, I think!

Actually just did this last night in my upstairs bathroom sink, I had those exact same shut off valves under my sink and when I renovated my bathroom they’d spray water from the handle everytime I turned them on and off. Bought a new vanity and sink and threw on some shark bite valves and was more than happy with them.

The orange tool deburs the outside there is another one that does the inside of the pipe some pipe cutter have them on the back of the tool. Also hope that copper pipe was hard copper not soft or it may not hold up long term. Glad you aren't afraid of sharks.

Good video. One observation. I couldn't actually tell if you did this or not, but it's a good idea to take off the faucet aerator when first turning back on the water.👍

To release you need to push the pipe up while implementing the removal tool.push down with the part while lifting up with the tool

A water hammer can stop those bubbles from happening randomly but after being off it's normal to get air in the pipes

$5 for a sharkbite valve? Only 2 years ago? They cost $12.45 at HomeDepot as of January 2023!
Also, sharkbite says to only turn the compression nut 1/4 turn beyond finger tight.

Unfortunately, mine doesn’t come out from the wall far enough out so I cut it. Oh well back to the old way.
