Step 7 · Make Final Connections
At each fixture termination point, use the PEX tubing cutter to cut the PEX line to the desired length. Secure a PEX stub-out elbow or drop-ear elbow to the wall framing using a drill and screws. Slide a stainless steel PEX clamp ring onto the end of the PEX tube. Push the tube fully onto the barbed end of the elbow fitting. Slide the clamp ring over the barbed section, positioning it about 1/8" to 1/4" from the end of the tube. Squeeze the PEX clamp tool firmly until it clicks or fully closes, compressing the ring. Attach a new angle stop valve to the threaded end of the stub-out elbow. Repeat this for every hot and cold line at every fixture.
