    Connecting piece to t-bar with no copper pipe left
    The nut connected to the hot water shut off valve was stripped. I cut that piece off and brought a shark piece to stop the water flow. My plan was to disconnect the dishwaster and use that side. The shark did not work and I could not get it off. I cut it off which left me with just the t-bar. I have no copper pipe left or compression fitting. Is there a way to connect a new compression fitting to the t-bar or new pipe to the t-bar? There are no threads either. Thanks if you can help! I am truly a novice.

    Hi all:

    I figured out how to fix it. I cut the T-bar off which gave me about 2 inches of copper piping that came from the wall. To that I attached a 1/2" Compression that had a 3/8" Multi-Turn Dual Outlet Valve. I was able to reconnect the dishwasher and hot water line hoses.
    Peace to all; hope this helps someone else who may run into this problem.
