What do you think would be the simplest way to install a valve and increase the length of the supply tube by 2 1/2" ?
Cut the PEX back and install a compression fitting such as a Sharkbite, then use a short length of braided hose that's terminated with factory manufactured 1/2" NTP fittings that won't leak. Shurflo makes a pump silencer kit consisting of two lengths of 3' braided hose that is ideal for this purpose, Valterra offers this similar kit. Since the hose is braided you can bend it as needed, unlike the existing PEX, and since the fittings are factory they won't leak as can band clamps.

Almost for sure it's the water valve - replace it with a new one.
