This whole setup came out of the backing so I’d like to replace the whole thing but I don’t have pipes, the supply line is hoses so I’m not sure what kind of valve I need to look at.

    Your main shut off. That’s the first valve you have to find. Once you confirm that you have control over your water for the whole house ( or in this case a pex mana block may be present, kinda like a circuit breaker board for water control to each fixture). Once you have located and tested your main shut off you can begin your plumbing adventures.

    Regarding the valve you are looking at. That is a unserviceable builders grade push on piece of shit. Your most straight toward fix is to locate a 1/2" pex possible 3/8" pex ANGLE shut off. You may want to stick with a push style shark byte installation if you don’t have to tools to crimp a standard pex valve on. You will not find a push on valve for a 3/8" pex line which make me believe that should be a 1/2"

    Once you find that watch some videos on how to remove and set a new push fitting. And then get a supply tube to match your current fixture to the stop

    E: that is a faucet fixture so you will need a 3/8 compression by 1/2" FIP supply connector. And most angle stops will be 3/8th compression on the service side towards the faucet. So just confirm that as it is the standard but they do make different stuff.

    E. I am using stop and valve here interchangeably.
