Hello,
I have to replace the kitchen's water tap. I am attaching images (*.img) of the under sink existing pipe connections where some welding and corrosion seem in place. The water tap my wife has already bought has different hose pipes, see please attached housepipe image. Any advice on how to place the new water tap with all the under sink pipes connection? Thank you

Thanks. But what about the copper pipes? Will it be sufficient to cut them with Automatic Copper Pipe Cutter and insert their ends within the ISO valves? if Yes, should I use a jointing compound and/or PTFE tape?
Thank you

 
Just unscrew the plastic pushfit elbow and coupling on the bottom nut (once the waters off/drained etc )

You will need a pair of electrical snips or tin snips to cut the stainless grab rings then remove everything that’s associated with the pushfit joint and install your iso valve note there should already be an insert in the pushfit pipe if there not there will need to be one fitted

Shouldn’t need jointing compound but you will require 15mm x 1/2 iso valve etc
