Step 2 · Gather Tools and Materials
With your detailed list, purchase all the necessary tools and supplies. This includes rolls of red and blue PEX tubing (typically 1/2" for branches and 3/4" for main lines), a PEX manifold with enough ports for all your fixtures, a PEX clamp tool, a dedicated PEX tubing cutter, and a variety of PEX fittings such as elbows, tees, and couplings. You will also need PEX-to-copper transition fittings (like sweat-to-PEX adapters or push-to-connect fittings), PEX pipe clamps to secure the tubing, and new angle stop valves for each fixture.
