is a plan B just good for you to know next where we puncture the hole we're going to cut an area foreign as you can see there's our culprit so this right here is called PEX piping it comes in a red or blue traditional in the house blue is cold red is hot and most faucets all throughout the house including your shower is going to be a half inch PEX except for larger ones like this it's a three-quarter inch that's a main Supply this one specifically goes to my water softener on the other side to fix it first we need to cut them now it's still going to have a little bit of water in there because there's a little it's not pressurized but some will still ooze out foreign
