    How to replace cold water supply line without using a torch or soldering any fittings.

    I would like to simply cut the flex copper pipe off just past the cut-off valve and attach a Shartbite male fitting or a compression fitting on the remaining copper stub which would be 7/8 inch in length after the cut. Would that meet code? Live in North Texas. Thanks, Don
