Hey Steve, I haven’t cut the pipe yet. As far as heating it up, could I just use something like a MAPP gas torch and apply heat directly to the old shutoff valve? Then use a pair of channel lock pliers to remove it?

One quick update, if I am worried about enough length being left behind after cutting the pipe, could I use 1/2″ copper pipe coupling to join another small piece of copper pipe, and then attach the shark bite to the attached piece if I need the extra length?

This was something I just thought about. Sorry for multiple posts, I attempted to edit the original but it seems you are unable to do so after enough time has elapsed.
