So you have a copper pipe in the wall to a valve you cannot use.
My thought for an easy fix is to shut your water off, cut a hole into the wall so you can reach a good segment of copper. Cut it off and install a "shark bite" fitting/valve and attach your new line to that. That's the easiest solution. |

Cutting holes in walls is not easy for me. I'm seriously inhibited in terms of anything to do with home repair stuff. I replaced our kitchen sink because the valve from the wall was previously connected to the old faucet with a bolt that I could unscrew and replace with another one from the new supply line. This valve appears to me at least to be incompatible with a new supply line. I know nothing about the pipe in the wall.
I'm seriously not stupid in real life, but I'm inept around the house. |

If it is over your head, recruit a buddy to help. This isn't a tough fix for any handy person.
You can buy a simple dry wall hand saw or use a box cutter to cut out the drywall. You'll need a pipe cutter to zip off the wall behind the fitting. Polish it a little with an emery cloth and slide the shark bite fitting/valve over the copper. Then screw your new supply line on and to sink. Turn on water. Find a friend to help or pay a capable handy man and save yourself the water damage. I'll wager there are 10 videos on youtube that will demonstrate the process for you. |

Pay for my airfare, and I'll act as a consultant to compliment someone who knows what they're doing.

On the "most likely to rape you" rankings, plumbers are way worse than lawyers, mechanics, used car lot owners, and rapists.
