I had to remove old valves and replace them with brass supply valves.

After disconnecting the lav supplies to the sink faucet above this is what my situation looked like:


This was the first time I had to sweat anything off of soldered copper pipe. I've watched Master nprofile1qqs9ccktnl7c4fcfrvyemxqfgs5a9gj8q8hm0h4ed3wt36xl0dpf7ygpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq3qamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wd3skueqpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejscg0f2u (nprofile…0f2u) do it more times than I can count so I just tried to mimic what I've seen him so in the past.

Then using emory paper I cleaned up the copper pipe the best I could to prepare them for the new supply valves.

Last thing to do was solder on the supply valves. I made sure to do it in the reverse order of how I removed them in order to give myself the most amount of space for each.

Best part is that I was successful in not leaving any burn marks on any walls or the inner vanity as well as no leaks!
