I looked under the cabinet, and I noticed that there are no shut off valves on either the hot or the cold. I was wondering if I could put on shut off valves with compression fitting with out have to solder anything, or would it just leak. Also, what is the difference between the braided metal supply tubes and the plastic ones? Is it that the plastic are self seating or something? Best regards- #1 fan!
