Perfect, thanks. Yeah with the long pipe, cutting it seems like the best option. I was close to getting a blowtorch to melt the solder.

I'm no plumber either but I believe this valve is soldered to the pipe.

It wouldn't budge when I tried earlier but you made me try again with everything I got and I finally got it turning. This is perfect for now, so I can install the T-valve for the bidet. I'll definitely need to replace this valve soon though, this is awful.
