Reply to comment by Maplelongjohn in How can I add a second 1/4 inch water line to under my kitchen sink? by Apprehensive-Egg374

So I’m in an apartment (I own it) and I don’t have access to behind the walls. And the end of the pipe is behind the walls. So if when I try to take off the shutter valve, the pipe cracks, or the threads for the pipe comes off with the shutter valve, the other end of the pipe is far behind the wall and I don’t have access to it to replace the whole pipe. Would there be a way to solve this issue in case it happens without removing the wall to change the pipe? Like is there an adaptor or something that I can use to attach to the pipe if it breaks off to give me a threaded end to use?

You'd be opening the wall through the back of the cabinet then.

It's probably worth every penny to have a plumber come deal with this.

They know all the tricks to help prevent the worst case.

They have insurance too. In case the worst happens and you flood the neighbors.
