What kind of valve do I have to buy for under the kitchen sink?

[amateurplumber]

I think it's the hot water side. I guess I have to turn off the water, cut the pipe underneath the connector, put on the valve, then turn the water back on. Any steps to take before or after turning off the houses water?

What kind of valve should I buy, exactly? I wanna get a sharkbite version because soldering underneath there would be tough (and I dont have a lot of experience soldering). Here are some pics; i have no idea what the little black wire/thing is, but the hose that attaches to the faucet is off (you can see the hole in the top). Its old as heck.

Thanks a ton!

Please don't use a sharkbite on that easily repaired part. Just read some of the other members horror stories about when they fail to hold correctly. What you need is a good quarter turn compression valve, like the one posted from the big box hardware store site.

You will be far better off to use a dual outlet compression valve.

Guys, I did it! Thanks a lot for the help! Took your advice and used a dual outlet compression fitting.
